Foods from Tsuruga and Wakasa Wakasa Puffer Fish

Wakasa fugu, the tiger puffer fish cultivated in the Reinan region, the only region on the Sea of Japan side and the northern limit of marine aquaculture, is highly regarded outside of the prefecture, especially in the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe area. Wakasa pufferfish grows in lower water temperatures due to the melting of spring snow for a longer period of time than in other regions, making it tighter and more flavorful.
