From the chef
His insight on Fugu (globefish) and continuous efforts to improve his dishes has brought the restaurant to win the stars.

He was born in 1950 in Hyogo. He says with a grin that he went to a university to be an engineer, however [being deceived by his parents with fair words], he started to work at the kitchen of [Fugu Ryori Tomoe] run by his father, then became the 2nd generation at the age of 29. Now the restaurant has the stars, and he is the chairman of Kyoto Fugu Association and executive director of Japan Globefish Association (as of 2015).

The Reasons Why I Recommend.
Located in Nanzen-ji Temple, Kyoto, 【瓢 亭】 is a Kyoto cuisine restaurant that has over 400 years of history and has won three Michelin stars. All of the dishes are refined and can not be managed. The level is different one by one, such as miso pickles and sashimi. This restaurant is famous for people who don't know in the cooking world, and it is a shop that you want to go with elegant atmosphere and neat clothes.
