How to make it keto
Strictly request sugar-free ponzu, ensuring no mirin or added sugar. Limit the amount of grated daikon radish as it contributes moderate carbs.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)
ふぐ刺しには、砂糖やみりん不使用のポン酢をお願いします。大根おろしも少なめでお願いします。
For Fugu Sashimi, please provide sugar-free ponzu with no mirin or added sugar. Also, a very small amount of grated daikon, please.
