Highlights and Details of Each Plan
- The Skills of Artisans Passed Down the Generations
- A special license is required to carve fugu in Japan. In particular, fugu sashimi is a masterpiece backed by skilled craftsmanship. The highlights are the superb knife skills, making cuts so thin that the pattern on the plate can be seen through the fish, and the beautiful presentation. Due to the nature of fugu, its muscles are well developed and the meat is tough, making it extremely difficult to slice it as uniformly thin pieces. The artistic fugu sashimi of Shunpanro is a fabled traditional skill of the restaurant, made possible through careful preparation. By maturing it overnight using a secret recipe, the flesh becomes just the right firmness, bringing out the unique texture and flavor of fugu.
