About Wakasa Fugu (Pufferfish)
The "king of fugu," tiger pufferfish (torafugu), is raised with great care in Fukui Prefecture, the northernmost point of its production. Known as "Wakasa Fugu (若狭ふぐ)," this premium brand is highly regarded and shipped not only within the prefecture but also to areas like Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe.

In Fukui, fugu sashimi is called "tessa," allowing you to savor its fresh and delicate taste. You can also enjoy Wakasa Fugu prepared in various dishes like "tecchiri" (fugu hot pot), deep-fried fugu, grilled fugu, or paired with its signature fin sake (hirezake).
