【Reservation only】Torafuku Course with Milt
Free cancellation
Manual confirmation
On a very stormy day at the end of the 20th year of Meiji, Lord Ito came to Shunpanro on a day when there was no fishing at all.
The proprietress, annoyed, was prepared to take revenge on him and served him the forbidden fuku dish.
Hideyoshi Toyotomi's decree forbidding the consumption of fugu continued until that time, and the decree of 1882, "The crime of being an offender against the law shall be dealt with immediately", also stated that the reason is that the decree strictly stipulated that "eating fugu is punishable by imprisonment and a fine" in 1882.

However, the prohibition of eating fugu was only ostensible, and the common people of Shimonoseki had long eaten fugu as a home-cooked dish.
Lord Ito had eaten it many times with Takasugi Shinsaku and others, so he was familiar with its taste.But he praised it, saying: 'Yes, this is delicious.' He praised it.
The following year, in 2009, the ban was lifted on the condition that the food be cooked with care.
Shunpanro was thus known as the first restaurant to be granted official permission for Fuku.
