FujiSushi, Niseko Hirafu

Niseko Hirafu

This is our first shot at a sushi place in Japan we're both very excited.
Fujisushi is just across the road from work and always has a crowd.. out the front is a glass display case filled with models of the food you could be enjoying should you choose to partake in this establishment. I love that there's a whole industry dedicated to making life like food models, there's so much thought and attention put in to them.

Inside we sit an have a look at the menu. At a lot of Asian places some times the menu in English is minuscule compared to the one written in the native tongue, feels like your missing out on all the good stuff. The menu here is after a quick look the same size so you are free to enjoy the delights of a whole bowl of cod roe or raw squid noodles should you so feel like. Kat is a bit under the weather so she goes for a simple all in one bowl of pork katsu and egg on rice, it's simple but delicious and as well as the generous portion it is accompanied by miso soup, a pickle of diakon and cucumber and a small salad of unknown ingredients, all very good.

I opt for the tempura set, the tray comes out and it's huge, there's the tempura which includes two prawns and a great selection of veg, a fish soup, a chawanmushi with chicken and shitake, two types of pickle, a selection of sashimi, rice, an orange and oddly enough a small macaroni salad. The tempura is light and crunchy, the sashmi fresh and every thing is tasty even the macaroni, there's easily more than enough for one person, still rather that than not enough.

Funny, our first sushi restaurant in Japan and we had no sushi, still there's always next time and from the friendly service and tasty treats there definitely will be.
