🍣 Indianapolis | Mt Fuji – A Refined Japanese Experience!

Sharing a recent find in downtown Indy – Mt Fuji Japanese Restaurant 🏯, a stylish spot with quality dishes worth trying! 📍 Location: Right in the heart of downtown, just steps from the Soldiers & Sailors Monument. 🅿️ Street parking available (~$1/hour). ✨ The vibe is modern and bright, with elegant lighting – not your old-school izakaya. ⏰ Tip: Arrive early! Popular items like uni (sea urchin) sell out quickly. 🍽️ What We Ordered: 1️⃣ Mt Fuji Skewers 🍢 An appetizer with beef, chicken, or pork options. We tried beef – surprisingly familiar and delicious, almost like Chinese-style skewers! 🥩 $11.95. 2️⃣ Kumamoto Oysters 🦪 Small but sweet and fresh! $3.75 each. 3️⃣ Toro Handroll 🍙 Couldn’t get straight toro (sold out), but this handroll was still buttery and satisfying. $9 each. 4️⃣ A5 Wagyu 🐄 Thinly sliced A5 beef… meh. 😐 Overpriced ($19.5) and served slightly cold. The edible gold leaf felt unnecessary. Skip this! 5️⃣ Sashimi Regular 🐟 A mix of salmon, tuna, etc. Fresh and high-quality – much better than Asaka’s (which often tastes frozen!). 🧊 $28.5. Deluxe version available for larger groups. 6️⃣ Ace Roll 🎌 A standout! 🍤 Contains salmon, tuna, tempura crab, cucumber, and eel sauce – complex flavors and expertly rolled. Highly recommend! $19.99. 7️⃣ Spicy Salmon Roll 🌶️ Solid classic roll. $8.75. 🍸 Cocktails: Also tried two cocktails ($10-20 each). Good but not mind-blowing. 💬 Verdict: Great ingredients, nice ambiance, and decent service. Downtown location = higher prices. 💵 Price: ~$80/person after tip (not the $20-30 you might see online 😅). 📜 Menu attached for reference! 🦃 Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁 #PurdueUniversity #Indianapolis #JapaneseFood #Sashimi #SushiLovers #FoodReview #IndyEats 🍱🎌✨
