[Members-only fugu restaurant] Osaka Torafugu no Kai

Fugu is a rare delicacy.
Here is a report on a restaurant specializing in fugu where you can enjoy it in all its glory.

Entrance like a hideout

The entrance was in a place where you could almost pass by.
As I approached, it said to take the elevator to the 11th floor.

Once inside the restaurant, I saw many autographs of celebrities.
You can tell that this is such a famous restaurant.

And there was a fugu swimming in an aquarium.

A special fugu course where you can eat every last bit of the fish

Fugu give the impression of being poisonous, but at this restaurant, you can eat almost all parts of the fugu.

The manager of the restaurant wanted to make sure that all parts of the fugu were consumed! The manager of the restaurant wants to eat every part of the fugu, so he has been conducting research to find a way to eat the poisonous parts. He has been researching and researching to find a way to eat the poisonous parts of the fugu.

The start of the fugu course

First, ponsu (ponzu vinegar)!

The first dish served was “ponsu”.
In Japan, it is often called “ponzu,” but it is still called “ponsu” because it was called “ponzu” when it came to Japan from the Netherlands.
They do not use vinegar, but use citrus fruits to make it.
This is so delicious!

Soup made with fugu bones

First, the soup made from fugu bones. It is delicious with the flavor of fugu!

Fugu kawa no Awayuki Jitate (freshly grated fugu skin)

A dish of boiled fugu topped with grated yam. It can be eaten without hesitation.

Tessa (fugu sashimi)

Tessa is made from the top part of the fugu.
Tessa is the most popular dish of fugu!
It can be eaten with condiments to change the taste and is easy to eat.

Fugu slices

The texture is like sashimi, and you can eat it without hesitation.

Grilled Milt

The milt is so plump and juicy. The inside is so tender that you can eat as many as you like!

Grilled Fugu

Anyway, you can eat various parts of the fugu. This time, we had skin/guts/toto-umi/uemi/kuro-uguisu.

Steamed and roasted mouthparts

Melty fugu. It seems to contain a lot of collagen!

Pizza with Torafugu karasumi

Karasumi is made by salting the poisonous ovaries for 3 years to remove the poison.
How could they think of removing the poison by caching the ovaries in salt for 3 years?
And it tastes so good! You can eat as many pieces as you want.

Deep-fried fugu kama (fugu paste)

I don’t know if this is the right analogy, but it is like fried chicken. It’s like a very tasty version of Kentucky lol (of course I love Kentucky!)

Tecchiri

Tecchiri with fugu balls. The soup is delicious! You can eat many bowls of it. And I enjoyed it with all the extra ponsu I got first.

Zosui (rice porridge) for the end of the meal

You can choose from large, medium, and small bowls of zosui. I chose small because I had already eaten a lot, but I wanted to eat more. All the men had either large or medium.

Dessert

Ice cream with sweet potato. You can also have coffee or tea.

Hire Sake after all!

Speaking of fugu, they serve fin sake! I didn’t drink it, but the members I went with did. First of all, the presentation was amazing! Flames are lit. And the smell of the sake.
I heard that there are not so many filets in the bottle. And they said it was very tasty!
