青龍亭 — Restaurant in Fujikawaguchiko

青龍亭 Seiryutei @ Saiko Fujikawaguchiko

💭Atmosphere: While visiting the ancient but well preserved farming village of Saiko Iyashi No Sato Nenba (Healing Village) now an open air museum and craft village, we walked into a traditional Japanese restaurant that serves regional dishes. Inside it’s very cosy with the heater turned on, wooden structures and a stunning view of Mount Fuji from a distance.

Service: We don’t speak Japanese but we just pointed at the picture and the server understands. Great hospitality across Japanese restaurants.

Food: Ordered a set of daifuku (glutinous rice dessert. I found the sweet soy sauce very flavorful) paired with matcha (green tea), amazake (sweet warm sake only found during winter. No photos) , water manjyu (made of kuzu starch and red bean paste) and oden.

Service : Nous ne parlons pas japonais mais nous avons juste pointé la photo et le serveur a compris. Excellente hospitalité dans les restaurants japonais.

Traditional Japanese house/restaurant with traditional seating on mats and also outside area overlooking Mt Fuji (when you have clear skies). Good food and reasonable prices for a tourist attraction. The vegetable curry was very good! The matcha tea was ok and the sweet wasn't made onsite (as I expected) but good anyway. Very...
