The story
Fugu Club miyawaki Bettei (the annex of the renowned Fugu Club Miyawaki) brings the art of fugu to Tokyo’s historic Tsukiji district. The menu centers on two carefully composed courses, each built around the prized natural tiger pufferfish. The “Natural Tiger Pufferfish Course” features seasonal availability, with preparations that shift with the catch. A highlight is the Pufferfish Roe, served alongside the course until the end of March. Prices for this course vary daily, reflecting the restaurant’s commitment to sourcing the highest quality pufferfish. For a more accessible option, the Annex’s Special Course offers a multi-course dinner at a fixed price.
The restaurant is designed for focused, personal dining: counter seating allows guests to watch the chefs work, while the atmosphere remains refined but approachable. The annex occupies a floor in the Fugu Club Building, which also houses a wine stand and a snack bar, making it easy to extend the evening. Private parties can be arranged, and the team welcomes groups of ten or more (with seating in separate rooms). The restaurant’s dedication to precision and quality has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, a mark of the respect it commands in Tokyo’s competitive dining scene.
Fugu Club miyawaki Bettei is a destination for those who appreciate the subtle, delicate flavors of pufferfish, prepared with decades of expertise. Reservations are essential, and the kitchen notes any allergies or dietary needs in advance. The course lasts about two and a half hours, leaving time to savor each course without rush. Whether you are a first-time visitor to fugu or a seasoned enthusiast, this Tsukiji annex offers a genuine, unhurried taste of one of Japan’s most celebrated ingredients.
