How would you feel if you go out to a fine dining restaurant and are asked to take off your shoes and then led to a table on the floor and asked to sir on your knees on the floor?
You will be surprised; right… And we were taken aback too. But that’s exactly happened when we visited the authentic Japanese Restaurant Fuji in New Delhi recently.Well, in Japan, Zashiki is a kind of sitting room with minimal décor, covered in tatami mats which has low traditional tables with cushions to sit on the floor. And to give it is patron a real feel, Fuji has a zashiki room along with western style tables and chairs. And to experience zashiki style seating, you have to remove your shoes before stepping onto the sitting area.
Fuji is a Japanese restaurant located at Rajiv Chowk in Delhi treats food lovers to Washoku by bringing the most authentic Japanese food in Delhi NCR.
As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were greeted with “irasshaimase”, an expression meaning “welcome, please come in”. We chose to experience the zashiki style of sitting and were then taken through a wondrous foodie journey of exotic food preparations presented in the most artistic way.
Fuji Japanese Restaurant is a gastronomic odyssey to Japan delivering scrumptious experience of Japanese food and ambience. From the rare ingredients to the cutlery, everything at Fuji is handpicked and imported straight from Japan.
Just like other oriental foods, we know very little about traditional Japanese meal and its flavours too. Normally, Sushi is the only dish that we associate with Japanese. But there’s a lot more. Chefs at Fuji try to give an enriching dining experience where guests enjoy unparalleled cuisine.Japanese cuisine encompasses the regional and traditional foods of Japan. The traditional cuisine of Japan, washoku is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes; there is an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. Dishes consisting of fish, pickled vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth and also deep-fried in a light batter, as tempura are often served. Apart from rice, staples include noodles, such as soba and udon.
Fuji offers an meticulous Japanese menu full of array of enticing assorted platters, Teppanyaki, Soups, Rice Bowls, Ramen, Sushis and authentic Japanese meals. The rare ingredients used in Fuji’s kitchen are imported straight from Japan. There are over a dozen nigiri sushi options including eel, salmon roe and the famous Tamago (Japanese Omelette).
Fuji, food is as much about the preparation and presentation as it is the food itself. A great deal of thought has gone into every item served. We also found the staff very polite and helpful; they helped us choose a combination dish which incorporated all special japanese cuisine dishes.If you want a perfect Japanese experience then Fuji is the right choice ,
