"A Famous Restaurant in Front of Shizuoka Station"I was invited and visited for the first time. Japanese Cuisine Fuji, a renowned restaurant representing Shizuoka, is known for its warm stones.【Atmosphere】 It’s just a short walk from Shizuoka Station. The restaurant is housed in a renovated narrow two-story building, featuring a serene atmosphere with only seven counter seats.【FUJI * Omakase Course Ordered】 ◉ Appetizer (Grilled Eggplant and Saw Crab) ◉ Shabu-shabu of Jindo Squid (from Yaizu) with Kujo Green Onion The quick cooking enhances its sweetness. ◉ Swordfish (wrapped in crushed rice cake) with new ginkgo nuts. ◉ Clear soup with Ebodai. ◉ Sashimi of Hanadai (with pickled daikon). ◉ Grilled Shiro-Ama-Dai (with Matsukasa style). ◉ White sesame salad with Shine Muscat (using freshly ground sesame from Fujieda). ◉ Eel from Hamana Lake. ◉ Wood-grain Tuna (from Yaizu) with vinegared dish. ◉ Steamed Mackerel (slow-cooked). Seasoned with miso. ◉ Rice dish (marinated horse mackerel with rice, rice with edamame and fried tofu, today’s fish broth with peach puree, and soft roe somen). Miso soup with eggplant and tofu. ◉ Freshly made Warabi Mochi.【Thoughts on the Dishes】 Similar to Katabira, the apprentice showcases the bonito flakes before the meal. Even as someone who is not well-versed in Japanese cuisine, I have enjoyed various fish from different regions, just like Wagyu. However, the cost-performance and impressive quality of fish from this famous Shizuoka restaurant are truly remarkable. That said, the fish at FUJI is also exceptional. Especially the specialty dish, "Grilled Shiro-Ama-Dai in Matsukasa Style," showcases the skillful cooking technique, with a texture from the scales and juiciness that is unforgettable, as the flesh melts in your mouth...The chef's sincere attitude seems to reflect in the dishes. From the freshly ground sesame to the bounties of Shizuoka’s sea and mountains, I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. 【Service】 The chef cooks in the back while the apprentices, the proprietress, and service staff take turns attending to customers. The proprietress is not very chatty, while the chef occasionally engages in conversation with neighboring foreign guests, leaving little interaction at other tables. It might have just been a coincidence, though! 【Others】 Famous restaurants in Shizuoka, such as Naruki, Onishi, and Kenichi Nishi, are located further away in Yaizu, making FUJI more convenient in terms of location.It was a great meal. Thank you for reading until the end. I would appreciate it if you could like, follow, and save this restaurant. Thank you!
