Discover the art of fugu cuisine at Kyoto's Mutsu No Ie, where expertly prepared pufferfish meets refined atmosphere and exquisite flavors.

Restaurant Details

Nestled in a charming sector, Mutsu No Ie offers a unique dining experience dedicated to the art of fugu cuisine. At this renowned restaurant in Kyoto, the culinary journey revolves around the meticulous preparation of the delicate pufferfish, expertly handled by a seasoned chef who brings this exquisite delicacy to life.


Diners can choose from thoughtfully curated course menus that highlight the sophisticated flavors of traditional Japanese gastronomy. The undisputed star of Mutsu No Ie is the fugu sashimi, skilfully sliced to achieve near-transparency. This is served with a zingy ponzu sauce that adds a tangy note to the natural sweetness of the fish. The grilled fugu is noted for its elegant taste, beautifully complemented with warm sake infused with fugu fin.


Despite requiring skillful neatening due to its bones, the fried fugu is a remarkable treat, whereas the tetchiri—a hot pot made from a rich fugu broth—offers warmth and depth with each taste. The rice porridge, simmered in the remaining fugu broth, provides a comforting and flavorful culmination to the meal.


Mutsu No Ie's ambiance fuses tradition with modern elegance. The restaurant, recently renovated, boasts a sleek and contemporary look, balanced with a warm and intimate atmosphere. Personalized service from the chef and staff ensures each guest experiences an unforgettable culinary journey.


Strategically located at 146 Tennocho, Shimogyo Ward, it’s easy to explore Kyoto's historic attractions before retreating to this beloved culinary site. Mutsu No Ie is not merely an eatery—it's a Kyoto landmark where fugu cuisine is celebrated artfully.
