Tecchiri (Fugu Hot Pot)

The pufferfish meat becomes plump in the kombu dashi broth. Enjoy the bouncy white flesh with a refreshing dip in ponzu sauce. The name 'Tecchiri' originates from the fact that pufferfish were called 'Teppo' (gun) in Osaka. It is said that the toxin, which can be fatal if hit, was likened to a bullet from a gun. The term 'Tecchiri' is believed to be an abbreviation of 'Teppo-no-Chiri-nabe' (gun-style hot pot). While eating pufferfish was banned for a long time, the number of specialty restaurants increased in Osaka following its legalization in 1941. It is now said that much of the natural pufferfish consumed nationwide ends up in Osaka. Finishing with Zosui (rice porridge) is the Osaka style. It is a special delicacy for the cold season.
