Natural fugu is carefully selected from the waters off Kyushu. It is aged meticulously in-house to maximize its umami. Instead of relying on chemical seasonings, we use handmade ponzu to enhance the flavor, which is the Fukuchi style. From fugu sashimi so translucent that the plate's pattern shows through, to each dish that embodies delicacy and tradition, the flavors deepen with every bite, revealing the essence of fugu.
Nestled quietly on the third floor of a building in Higashi-Ginza, the interior of this establishment is an adult hideaway that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city. Welcomed by the warm smiles of the head chef and staff, you can enjoy quality without any pretense. The sharpness of the knives viewed over the counter, the rising steam, and the fragrant broth—this live experience that engages all five senses transforms the meal into a special moment.
In 1976, we started our business as 'Fugu Fukuchi' in Asakusa. Since moving to our current location in Higashi-Ginza in 1988, we have dedicated ourselves to serving the finest fugu cuisine. We continue to refine our discerning eye and craftsmanship honed over many years, and as a renowned establishment that captivates many customers, we certainly carry on its taste and spirit.
