Pufferfish of Hinakijima Island
The king of the sea that colors the island in winter. Hinakijima is known as an island of tiger pufferfish, alongside its famous octopus. The history of tiger pufferfish fishing on the island spans over 100 years. During the fishing season from October to March, the tiger pufferfish caught in the nearby waters have firm flesh and a rich umami flavor. By letting the fish age for a few days after being prepared, the savory components are further enhanced. Aichi Prefecture is one of the leading regions for natural tiger pufferfish catches, and Hinakijima is one of its authentic hubs. From Tessa sliced so thinly that you can see the pattern of the plate through it, to steaming Tecchiri, and finally to a hot, delicious Zosui (rice porridge) to finish—enjoying a full course of pufferfish at an island inn is a luxurious winter experience that can even be enjoyed as a day trip from Nagoya.
