I used my American Express platinum card concierge to book here (firstly as I do not speak Japanese and secondly because it is so popular!). All the fugu courses were very nice, although I did not care for the initial side dish. I'm going back for the crab hotpot.
Went back for the crab hit pot. It's amazing, it's more than enough for two... Maybe even three people.

Highly popular fugu restaurant (seems the crab plot is more popular), not too hard to book once you become “friend” of this place. Possibly one of the finest fugu cuisine you can get (for the tradition side of it). Fugu sashimi, barbecue and shirako were the highlights.
If I have 3+ people, will go for the crab plot, just way too big for 1-2 person.

Simply amazing. You must try this authentic Japanese FUGU dishes. But unfortunately they are fully booked until 2024… what a great experience.
