Seafood and Fugu Cuisine Fukufuku's banquets are recommended for enjoying Hiroshima fugu and eel
Located near the Hiroshima Electric Railway Minami-kuyakusho-mae streetcar stop. Seafood and Fugu Cuisine Fukufuku is located in Minamimachi, Minami Ward, and you can enjoy fresh fugu cuisine all year round. Our restaurant sources fish from all over Japan, mainly tiger pufferfish from Nagasaki Prefecture, and uses the most suitable fugu for the season.We maintain them with care to serve the highest quality fugu.
Another of Fukufuku's specialties is eel. We source live eels from Aichi Prefecture and keep them in a fish-tank on the premises, so we can serve the very freshest eel dishes. Our restaurant's eel is prepared Kansai-style, grilled with soy sauce. The crispy texture of the skin and its fragrant aroma are combined with a captivating deliciousness.
The flavor of fugu differs greatly depending on how it is treated. Our restaurant emphasizes 3 points: preparation, cleaning, and curing. During preparation, the fish are killed in cold water, cleaning removes any excess, and curing enhances the tenderness and flavor of the meat. Long years of experience as an artisan are of the utmost importance to ensure that each type of pufferfish is treated in the appropriate way. Pufferfish are also extremely delicate creatures, so one must not forget to maintain the fish tank diligently. Through careful attention to details and management, we bring out the deliciousness of fugu to the fullest.
