The thrill and the stars
At the bottom of a small quiet street in the district of Minato, the owner of three Michelin stars, Yoshio Yukasabe is preparing... Tonight, he will prepare fugu dishes, the "pufferfish" whose liver and genitals contain a deadly toxin. Poor preparation, clumsy cutting, and translucent flesh become a fatal poison.
At the bottom of a small quiet street in the district of Minato, chief three Michelin stars, Yoshio Yukasabe is preparing fugu, the "sunfish" or "pufferfish" whose liver and genitals contain a deadly toxin. Poor preparation, clumsy cutting, and translucent flesh become a fatal poison.
Perhaps, enjoy a meal in one of two private rooms in Japanese style? Maybe you prefer to eat in front of the chef who prepares a fugusashi, "fugu sashimi", a supreme delight.
The dishes are accompanied by a ponzu sauce, a homemade sweet mixture of soy sauce, and lemon juice. The famed fish are from the waters, south of the archipelago, near the island of Kyushu, where it is freshly imported daily.
Remember to accompany your dishes with potent Oita sake, brewed in the same region. The price? At the height of the thrill provided by mouthfeel.
