“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.
※All prices are tax-inclusive.
※Please choose either Tecchiri or Yakifugu for the main dish.
※For the shirako, you can choose from grilled shirako or simmered shirako. However, we only serve shirako from mid-December through April. In other months, we will serve a substitute dish.
To experience the freshness and quality of fugu to the fullest, tessa (fugu sashimi) is a must. At our restaurant, we cut tessa in thick slices to let you enjoy its firm texture. Enjoy the savory flavor overflowing with every bite.
Tecchiri (fugu hot pot) is a hot pot that lets you enjoy the tender flesh of the fugu. Enjoy it with our specially made ponzu sauce. The “FugunoYamada-style” is to enjoy the fugu first, then try the vegetables and tofu with a rich, savory dashi broth, and save the mochi rice cake for last. For the final course, we serve zosui rice porridge.

The yakifugu is served marinated in a sweet and salty sauce and grilled over a charcoal fire. The different cuts each have their own texture and flavor to enjoy, so this is a popular delicacy. The fragrant aroma goes very well with drinks.
Fugu karaage is deep-fried battered fugu, and served with a rich sauce that goes very well with the light flavor of fugu, it is popular with men and women of all ages. Enjoy the different flavors of each cut, from firm cuts to cuts with a light and tender texture.
To enjoy a delicious meal, choice sake is essential. Our sake is carefully selected by the proprietor, who previously placed second in the Kumamoto qualifier of the Japan Sake Tasting Competition, and we serve roughly 10 varieties at any time. Using a wealth of knowledge and sensitivity, we determine the best match with the cuisine without fixating on brands. We also offer a wide variety of other alcoholic beverages, so please pick out one you prefer.
We recommend counter seats for small parties, such as dates, or for couples who are dining out. You can watch the fugu swim gracefully around in their tanks, as well as the preparation process, while you enjoy your meal.We offer 5 private rooms that seat 4 people, and we can also accommodate parties of up to 20 people by connecting the rooms. They are perfect not only for ordinary meals, but also for meals on special occasions, entertaining, and banquets, among others.Feel free to relax and enjoy yourself in a private space.
