The restaurant was located at the second level of the Japanese food street of the shopping mall. The storefront was traditional and simple in look with a small shaded glass door. I was showed to the a counter seat. The place was simple and stylish. Hot towel and hot ocha was served upon sitting.Based on the limited lunch menu (there was only 3 choices for lunch and 6 choices for donburi), I decided on Fuji lunch set ($48++). The set consisted of an appetizer, nigiri sushi (10 pieces), miso soup

I was showed to the a counter seat. The place was simple and stylish.

Based on the limited lunch menu (there was only 3 choices for lunch and 6 choices for donburi), I decided on Fuji lunch set ($48++). The set consisted of an appetizer, nigiri sushi (10 pieces), miso soup and dessert.
The meal starts with marinated spinach and chawamushi.The chawamushi was served topped with mushroom and greens. Interesting to thinly sliced meat in it.
Next course was the sushi which was freshly made in front of me since I was having the counter seat. The sushi was served with crunchy yuzu flavoured apple slices, instead of the usual sushi ginger. The dish was served with a slice of tamago which was juicy and sweet in taste. The sushi was not bad, especially for the truffle flavoured piece in the centre. A piece of yuzu flavoured sushi was a bit overwhelmed by a bit too much wasabi in it.
This was followed by a smoky hot bowl of miso soup, filled with seaweed and cubes of tofu.
Lastly the meal was ended with the dessert. The dessert of the day was chocolate ice cream. I was looking forward to have Mizu Shingen Mochi 水信玄餅 but it was not available. Another choice given was black sesame ice cream. The black sesame ice cream was quite smooth in texture and rich in taste.Overall the food was great, although it was a bit of stressful meal with so many pair of eyes looking at one. Felt a bit uncomfortable.
