Fukutora (Soma Tiger Pufferfish)
Pick up a thin slice of tessu (sashimi) with your chopsticks and place it in your mouth. Experience the signature crunchy texture unique to pufferfish and a delicate sweetness that overflows with every chew. Though light in flavor, the umami is undeniably deep. This is Soma's wild tiger pufferfish. "Fukutora" is a brand name reserved exclusively for wild tiger pufferfish caught via longline fishing off the coast of Soma that are over 35 cm in length. We take pride in the fact that even larger fish do not become overly heavy in flavor, instead possessing rich elasticity and elegant umami. The season runs from October to February; the meat becomes firmer as the weather gets colder. In addition to tessu, when prepared as simmering teccchiri (hot pot), the plump meat releases a nourishing essence. Grilled milt and deep-fried pieces are also exquisite. A new specialty of Soma that brings good fortune to the winter in Hamadori.
