I went there with two friends of mine.The restaurant have three kind of vegetable fried chips. We wanted to have all,but we don't have much place of oily food because of our age.

Do you like Sushi?

Recently,Kaiten-sushi which is a type of sushi restaurant served with conveyor-belt is getting popular.So most people even Japanese hesitate to go traditional sushi restaurant.

One of the reason is that sushi is far from cheap.We don't want to fail.

 Although Yanagiya's selling point is sushi in kyoto style,I like Nigiri shushi which is Tokyo style better than Kyoto one.I've never had such a great tuna and sea urchin  around Fujinomiya.

Nigiri tokujou 松嵐特上 has excellent tuna called Akami.Its meat is evenly textured and soft with good fat for an elegantly lean taste.

It also has Yuba made from soy beans.Yuba is kind of Tofu.It is more creamy and richer than Tofu.

Nigiri　tokujou 白糸特上￥2100

Nigiri tokujou 白糸特上 has great fatty tuna called Chu Toro.The meat has the soft quality and good balance of fat.It also has really good flavor.

My love for sea urchin called Uni is second to none.I have eaten them countless times.Uni they served is one of the best one I ever had.It was so fresh and sweet.

They serve more reasonable meal at lunch time.

Do you like curry?I love it so much that I even traveled India.This is not an authentic curry restaurant.It is run by milk maker.That's why we can have so rich taste.

The curry shop is in Asagiri food park.Asagiri is in north part of Fujinomiya near by Yamanashi prefecture.

The park has many attractive shops , restaurants and facilities.They have wide and cozy green glass play ground,power spots and small food factorys.You can see the process of making Jamanese sweets ,Sake and so on there.

One of them is Asagiri milk maker.Asagiri is famous for its farming and dairy industry.Asagiri milk is local milk maker.Their daily foods are loved by many local people because of their high qualities.

The curry you have there is made with plenty of their nice dairy products.The bigining of butter chicken curry is called Tandoori chicken.It was the way to use the rest of its marinate sauce which was full of yogurt.

That's why butter chicken curry needs a lot of dairy products,and the quality of them must be key of the taste.

The best Kakigori in Fujinomiya,Unjou.

Kakigori cafe Unjyo

Don't you want to eat something made cool your body?We have nice sweets called Kakigori which is Japanese shaved ice.It is most recommended hot summer treat of Japan.Also we have the best Kakigori cafe here in Fujinomiya called Unjyo.

Unjyo cafe

A few English

The cafe is in the

cozy eating place 

There are about 20 seats.

What is the difference?

Generally in Japan,the ice of Kakigori is crunchy.It makes headache easily.Also it is served with various flavored syrup such as strawberry, melon,lemon,condensed milk and so on,and they are almost manufactured syrup.

The ice of Unjyo is so fluffy.It's because of the water made ice.It is meltwater coming from Mt. Fuji taking long time.Unjyo ice is made of that water.It has been frozen slowly and carefully over 2~3days. That's why nobady eaten them have headache.

Not only that,the syrup on the ice is special.Surprisingly they are almost hand made using many local ingredients.

explain syrup's ingredients

They have a thing about ingredients.Blueberry,strawberry and milk are made in Fujinomiya.Tea leaf is made in Shizuoka.Mizore (only suger syrup)is made from 3 kind of suger such as Wasanbon(famous Japanese tasty suger).

menu with photo
easy to order without English

I'm sure firstly you astonish to its size.It is so big that I can't always eat without spilling.It is not only that reason I always spill.It is also hard to pour syrup on the ice.I'm telling you that you should pour it very very carefully.

strawberry with condense milk\850 

pouring carefully

macha with sweet beans called Azuki\850

caramel sauce with milk\850

blueberry sauce with milk\850

The ice is soft and gentle.It has gone out of my mouth in a moment with regret.
Strawberry and blueberry syrup are so nectarous.They are not sugary but gentle sweet.

Greentea and Azuki also doesn't make you disappointed.The flavor of greentea is so vivid and rich.Azuki is cooked fluffy and  its taste is rich enough. You can find Azuki on the top and inside.

They also have a hut that have 4～5 tables.It has perfect air condition so you would enjoy waiting times there even in the winter.

I have to address you a few bad things.Firstly it is about location of Unjyo.It takes long distance from the train station.The nearest one is Fujinomiya taking 30 minutes by car.

Secondly,it's very crowded in summer holiday season especially afternoon.Sometimes wait 90 minutes.If you want to go there when it's not crowded,you should go there before midday.

You must try Unjyo Kakigori.It’s absolutely scrumptious.
