Takahama Pufferfish
Tiger pufferfish raised in Japan's coldest sea; this is the 'Wakasa Fugu'—a winter specialty of Takahama Town. Wakasa Bay, characterized by its rias coastline, features excellent tidal currents, providing an ideal environment for tiger pufferfish aquaculture. It is known as a major offshore aquaculture site located at the northernmost point of Honshu. Raised slowly in cold waters, these pufferfish boast firm flesh, elegant sweetness, and a pleasant texture. The peak season is from around October to March. Whether enjoyed as 'tessa' (sliced sashimi) or 'tecchiri' (hot pot), or with rich, creamy milt, the effort put into raising these fish results in exceptional firmness and umami. It is a true Wakasa luxury that you'll want to savor as the winter cold deepens—a perfect dish to enjoy leisurely at a traditional Japanese inn.
