Osaka, Japan｜Fugutenjin

Our first time trying puff fish. All is delicious here, and the owner is very friendly. Smoking inside allowed though

First time trying Fugu! We had a great experience here. Even though they don’t have english menu for tourists like us but the staff was super helpful and friendly. The fugu courses were great, the restaurant was clean and felt private. I would like to thank the staff for being so patience helping us order!

Decided to come here to try fugu. They were nice enough to allow me to order 1 set to be shared with my wife. I noticed many locals patronize the shop too. Fugu definitely is fresh! I was kinda of shocked to see the flesh of the fish for the nabe still throbbing! I ordered a side dish of fugu liver and it has to be the best dish for the night. Rich and creamy! No funky taste. Also ordered the fugu grilled fin sake. OH SO GOOD. Please do yourself a favor and order the sake. The hot sake goes so perfectly well with the charred fugu fin! I had 2, but I must warn you the kick comes quite strongly after that haha. Ok the fugu sashimi tasted clean and light, slight crunchy in texture, not those soft mushy texture like most sashimi. When cooked in the nabe, the fish also retained its firmness. I definitely enjoy the karaage, so delightful in that crispy batter. Load up on the spring onions and the yummy yuzu soya, goes well with the fish. I recommend this place! The owner is very friendly
