There's only one thing on the menu in this boisterous spot: pick from a range of fugu sets, such as the dinner Ebisu course, which features the cute little puffer in raw, seared, fried and drowned-in-sake incarnations, or lunchtime tetsuyaki setto (set meal with grilled fugu). You can also order individual dishes. Look for the blue-and-white pufferfish outside.
