Restaurant Dining Fuji — Restaurant in Izu

We stayed here for two nights, and when I booked, I asked whether I could have vegan dinners. They said yes, though the menu would be the same for two nights. Actually, the menu for the second night (29/10/2024) was different for most of the dishes, and all the dishes were incredible for the both nights. I’d been worried whether I’d be able to enjoy dinner with my family at a hotel in Japan, but it turned out I could.

In contrast to the food, the service wasn't good. This is why I have to deduct the stars. As soon as we entered the restaurant on the second night, one of the waitresses passive-aggressively greeted us, “Thank you for coming again!” probably because they had to serve me a different, vegan course. After all, being vegan is still different from the normal in Japan, and being different and asserting personal needs in Japan isn't ok because it disturbs the collective peace.

Also, the same waitress and a waiter were chatting, and when I needed water, I had to wait until they stopped chatting and noticed that I needed something. After we asked the waiter for one more cup of tea, he brought us cups of tea but left them not in front of us but at corners of our table probably because he wanted us to leave. It was still 8ish, and the restaurant closed at 9 pm. I felt this passive-aggressiveness in the atmosphere, and that made me uncomfortable. These servers didn't appreciate the efforts the chef had put into the dishes because their behaviors spoiled my experience of having an incredible vegan course dinner at...

We stayed here for one night and ordered the ¥7500 dinner option. It was disappointing to say the least. Expect tiny portion sizes and poorly executed French/Japanese fusion cuisine. One of the worst dinners I’ve had at a “high...

平日の贅沢お泊まり会。 久し振りに、喧騒から離れのんびり過ごす事ができました。 宿泊施設とは別棟になりますが、広々としたダイニングルームで夜の帳を見ながらの夕食タイムとなりました。 前菜三種盛りからスタートです。 枝豆豆腐の柔らかさと枝豆の粒感、優しい餡とクコの実が嬉しい。 穴子の煮こごりは、ネギの食感も楽しめた。 小ぶりなサザエの腸の苦味が堪らなく旨い。 お造り三種盛り。 鮪の解凍の仕方で風味が薄くなってしまう。 鯵と真鯛に至っては旨味が無くて、盛り付け方が素敵だっただけに残念でした。 カジキマグロのグリル、こちらはフルーツを使った斬新な一品です。 薄味なので、テーブルの塩や胡椒を少し加えるとクミンとオニオンをミックスしたソースが生えます。箸の通りも良くて美味しい。 お口直しの、冷製茶碗蒸し。 しっかり利いたお出汁、椎茸もちゃんと存在感をアピール。 薄くスライスされたスモークチーズが、やみつきになりそうです。 ふじのくにいきいきポークのポワレ お肉の柔らかさと山葵を使ったヴィネグレットソースの美味しさに感激した今宵最高の一品となりました。 スタートから、この一品で構わんよ～くらい 私は気に入ったのです。 ゆっくりサーブされる食事は、本当に心身満たされます。 写真撮り忘れの、食事は海の香りが凝縮されたふのりが乗っかった白飯 釜揚げしらす＆桜えび　山葵　お好みで醤油 枝豆がたっぷりのさつま揚げ（満腹なんだけど食べちゃった） 胡瓜と茄子のお漬物（何かめちゃウマでした） デザートは、あっさり柑橘ムース びわ茶（ホット）仄かに香る琵琶 美味しいディナータイムをのんびり満喫...
