Fugu Club Miyawaki Bettei

Fugu, or the Japanese pufferfish, is infamous for being one of the most deadly poisonous fish in the world. Prepared correctly by an expert chef, however, its flesh is firm and full of flavor, making it a highly sought-after delicacy. Diners looking to try this deadly delicacy safely need look no further than the Michelin-recognized Fugu Club Miyawaki Bettei. With its original branch in Ginza, the Tsukiji branch of Miyawaki is likewise set in a kominka house, instantly transporting diners back as far as the Edo period. With an atmosphere that is simultaneously sophisticated and warm, the restaurant is the perfect place for any event, from family parties to date nights. Recently recognized by the Michelin Guide, Miyawaki Bettei has enraptured many diners with their expertly prepared fugu dishes. The best way in which to explore the full gamut of dishes is to order the omakase course, which serves up a single fish — sometimes weighing in at a hefty 3kg — in creative and appetizing ways. Whether it’s fried, in soups, and even served as sashimi dressed with caviar and olive oil, Miyawaki creates a varied, satisfying profile of flavors in which to enjoy pufferfish.
