Koji Kimura is the third-generation owner-chef of Yunagibashi Takoyasu and heir to its traditional flavours. He learned in Shimonoseki how to recognize high-quality fugu and inherited from his father the family’s culinary traditions. From the beginning, Yunagibashi Takoyasu accepts only wild fugu weighing 6 kg or more, as these are the most flavoursome. The menu features thick-cut sashimi, chiri nabe flavoured with shirako, and umami-rich zosui.
