Fugu is one of the most celebrated and notorious dishes in Japan. Due to its tetrodotoxin, it can be lethally poisonous, which is why there are strict rules around the preparation and serving of this dish. Fugu preparation is controlled by Japanese law, with chefs undergoing specific training for a minimum of three years. Our chef, Mr. Nakase, received his certification and has been lawfully serving some of Tokyo’s most delicious fugu for the past 14 years.
