If you want to try fugu in Tokyo, Ueno Santomo in Okachimachi is a great choice. Fugu is a poisonous blowfish, so chefs must be highly skilled at removing the dangerous parts when cooking up this luxury fish. This restaurant was the first to suggest licensing the sale of fugu in restaurants to Tokyo’s local government, so you can consider the staff at Ueno Santomo to be experts on this interesting delicacy.
