Fugu Fukuji
For a once-in-a-lifetime dinner, grab a seat at the top-rated pufferfish restaurant in Tokyo.
Restaurant Details
Pufferfish is one of the most famous dishes from Japan, popularized through TV shows and magazines for decades. Part of the fascination is that a special license is needed by fugu chefs, due to the poisonous potential of the fish if prepared incorrectly.
If you’re searching for somewhere to try this unique fish, Fugu Fukuji in Ginza may well be the answer. They source all of their fish from the Bungo Channel — the strip of ocean between the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku. Here are some of the best fish available off the coasts of Japan.
This means that every one of their dishes is of high quality. Take your pick from their a la carte menu offering pufferfish in sushi, stew, porridge, deep-fried, and a variety of other styles. Outside of fugu season (October to March) they also offer eel and soft-shell turtle.
True fugu connoisseurs count Fugu Fukuji as the top of its kind in Tokyo, so the prices are slightly higher than the average fugu restaurant, but guests can rest assured that they will leave satisfied.
