“FugunoYamada” is a restaurant specializing in fugu dishes in Kumamoto’s Chuo Ward. We have long been popular as a restaurant that serves quality fugu dishes. Fugu is a poisonous fish. In Japan, only chefs with a fugu preparation license are allowed to handle fugu. This makes it
possible to enjoy delicious fugu safely.
Fugu’s main characteristics are its firm texture and light flavor, and it is popular as a luxurious dish for special occasions like birthdays and celebrations, as well as for entertaining. At our restaurant, we serve three types of
multi-course meals crafted with care and diligence, from the preparation to the presentation. Please take this opportunity to enjoy them.
