We had some fruity ale beer made by Fujinomiya local maker called Fujiyama hunter's beer.They said  all ingredients are only made by themselves!Besides They are organic!That's why it was so tasty.

I didn't know  what a wonderful craft beer maker we have in our local town.

They also  had some nibbbles such as green soy beans,boiled peanuts,and so on.

 Sengen shrine often has events like this in the weekends.If you come across events there,you might as well to have a look.It will be fun.

The shrine is easy to visit for tourist.You should leave the Fujinomiya station by tne north exit,go straight the street toward the north.Turn left at the first traffic light, you can find Sengen shrine at the second traffic light on your right.It's about 10 minutes from the station.

The best Japanese restaurant in Fujinomiya Takenoko.

If you are looking for japanese restaurant serving nice foods in Fujinomiya,Takenoko would be good for you.

The restaurant is like a secret hideaway.Because it tacked away on side street.You may not find easily it.However it is worth going.You will encounter wonderful Japanese food there.

It gives most people from abroad a little fear to visit authentic Japanese restaurant for the first time.I think there are three reasons about that such as 1:Food 2:Price 3:Person.

1:Food

Takenoko serves traditional Japanese dishes.Although those dishes have normal and standard looking,the taste is absolutely fantastic.

If you want some new aged or different taste of Japanese dishes,I don't recommend there.

2:Price

I honestly say the price of dishes are not low,but I'm sure they are reasonable.Their cuisine is worth its price.And they also serve more reasonable price dishes as set menu.

3:person

Takenoko is run by friendly family,so you don't have to be nervous there.They are lovely Fujinomiya local persons.

Review

I visit there at lunch time.Every food they serve that day were so good.
Finely chopped Japanese horse mackrel called Tataki served with fried bones of those.Tataki is flesh and sweet enough to be satisfied.

Fujinomiya local food Peanuts soft serves.

Fujinomiya local food Peanuts soft serves. 

Do you know what's the local speciallity in Fujinomiya?

It's not only Fujinomiya Yakisoba but also boiled peanuts.

Most people eat dried peanuts,but we have boiled ones.Because we have plenty of flesh peanuts here.My hometown plant many peanuts. Volcanic ash soil here  suits to grown peanuts.We have 100 years history of growing them.

That's why it's normal way to boil peanuts here.Some people feel weird when they try soft peanuts,but the feeling is most likely getting better.

There are the people who mix the peanuts with soft serves.They have made it one of the best known Fujinomiya local food. I know that is in Umyana.

There is the big flesh vegetable market called Umyana in Togami  Fujinomiya.They have  soft serves  stand at the entrance.You can find the soft serve  there.

soft serve stand

I was excited when I saw it for the first time.The object(called Monaka) put on the serves was so realistic. That looks is definitely nice for instagram.

It was so rich taste. You can feel thick peanuts flavor and flesh cream in it.I heard   they only use flesh milk and peanuts grown in Fujinomiya.

\300

They have some other soft serves,too such as milk,Maccha and strawberry.
They also have seasonal special gelato.
Why don't you have a try!

One of the uniquest soft serves in Japan.

Do you like soft serve ice cream?
I love it.I've had countless soft serve ice cream in my life.
What I'll tell you today is one of the uniquest soft serves I've ever had.

     corn taste soft serve ice cream 

at Mori-no-eki in Huketsu in Yamanashi

Sorry in advance,you can't get it in Fujinomiya.It is in Yamanashi next to Fujinomiya.It tooks about 30 minutes by car from Fujinomiya.And it is in the middle of 5 lakes around Mt, Fuji.

Do you know Narusawa Hyouketsu?It is ice cave made by Mt.Fuji eruption.

You can find corn taste soft serves at the entrance house of the cave.The wooden house have  asnack stand , a souvenir shop and  a ticket office.

snack stand

 They sell some snacks other than soft serves such as Yoshida udon, Fujinomiya yakisoba,Houtou bun.They are all famous local food .

Even so, the most famous selling food there is corn taste soft serves,I'm sure.

Originally,they sell corn potage .It was not only good taste but also making visitors get warm.Because Hyouketsu has cold temperature inside throughout tne year. It has become famous over time.

I didn't know when they have begun to sell corn taste soft serves though,I feel like eating in youth.It might have long history.

The taste of it is very unique. It is fusion of ice cream and cone.I have not had the taste like it ever.I like it more I can't to wait to take photos.

This is the corn taste soft serve! \350

They serve it with salt.Personally,adding salt is more better.Have a try!

Do you like Hokkaido food?You can enjoy Hokkaido food at Gusuta-re in Fujinomiya.

Do you like Hokkaido food?This restaurant serve good food from Hokkaido(north part of Japan famous for its food)

Hokkaido cheese daining Gusuta-re 

Gusuta-re is Italian taste restaurant like Tavern.Though the material from Hokkaido are good enough,the other kind of food has less power. That's why the taste of food are depend on dishes.

I was surprised at grilled tomato and fried poteto.It was the best one I've ever had before.

Grilled tomato with cheese.☆☆☆☆☆

And fried poteto was also exciting.They definitely use good fresh poteto.

But,I was disappointed at cheese in mashed poteto.It was easy processed food unfortunately.

Fried poteto☆☆☆☆☆
Cheese in mashed poteto☆

What the most wiered thing is that Raclette was absolutely no good. It must be best selling food of all food they serve.

Raclette☆

I was also disappointed at ahijo.The oil they use was not good.
So it made the dish ruin.The bread was not good,too.

Ahijo ☆

They serve many good seafood from Hokkaido such as Hokke, Ikura,Scallops.I'm sorry that I can't say anything about that because I didin't eat them at that time.However,as for my experience,I guess they would be good.

I'm not sure why they serve such different taste of dishes,Though,the unbalance could be making charm.Come to think of that,the furniture or interior decorating was also unbalanced there.I'm sure you must be surprised at the rest room.

In a word,this restaurant is unique.If you want to have unique experience,

why don't you go there.

The best relaxation cafe in Fuji Fujinomiya,Kaguya.

Do you want to have relax time with friends?
If so I recommend Kaguya in Fuji.

enterancr

It is on the top of Iwamoto mountain.The cafe is in the middle of nature. When I was there,I could feel fresh breeze and hear birds humming from the forest.They also have marvellous view.

the view from the cafe

 You can see the city area in Fuji ,and Suruga Bay.

outside

 They have comfortable chairs and sofas inside.Sofas are more relaxation seats,I think .Maybe you can ask them having sofas.

inside

 They open from 9 to 5.They serve morning special from 9 to 11.They look good and reasonable.

We had lunch special.My friend had omrice curry set menu including vegetable starter ,1drink@\1380.

starter

omrice curry

 I had a tuna sandwich set menu including 1 drink@\1180.

sandwich

remon soda

They have enough amount of fresh vegetable for each dishes.And they were so much that we couldn’t eat everything.

I was very surprised.Because many people were making the line in spite of weekday.This cafe has opened this spring,so it's getting popular and hot spot in these days.

I don't think that the reason are only good food and location.There are different taste of  atmosphere such as sophisticated ,urban and nature.
When they are mixed up,it attracts peaple.And it makes them go there again.

You can have excellent relax time on the comfortable sofas in nice atmosphere with good food and view there.
