To develop natural intermediate flavoring substances, optimal hydrolysis conditions and taste compounds for two step enzyme hydrolysate(TSEH) using Grass puffer(Takifugu niphobles) were investigated. The optimal conditions for TSEH method were revealed in temperature at $55^{\circ}C$ 3 hour digestion with Alcalase (pH 7.5) at the 1st step and 2 hour at $45^{\circ}C$ digestion with Flavourzyme(pH 6.0~6.5) at the 2nd step. TSEH method was superior to hot-water extraction on the aspect of yield, nitrogen contents and organoleptic taste quality such as umami and control of bitter taste formation. In taste active-components in Glass puffer TSEH, total free amino acid content was 4,502 mg%, major free amino acids were Pro, Leu, Lys, Hypro, Tau, Arg, Phe, Ala, Glu and Val in ordor. As for nucleotides, IMP(372 mg%) was the principal component and also contents of TMAO, total creatinine, and betaine were 43, 278 and 41 mg% in Glass puffer TSEH, respectively. The major inorganic ions in TSEH were Na(949 mg%), K(222 mg%), Cl(1,180 mg%) and $PO_4$(1,081 mg%).
