Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, Japan｜Olsson's Strawberry

Lunch visit sitting outside with a dog. Nice calm atmosphere outside. At lunchtime only a limited number of tables have seating with adequate shade due to the sun angle (we got one that had shade). Another review mentions there’s only a set menu - that might be true in evening but not at lunch. We had bone-in chicken current (mild butter chicken like taste; would have preferred more spice but nice and rich), lasagne (pretty good, more sauce than meat), hamburger with Japanese sauce (no hard bits in the hamburger). All came with a salad which had a nice tangy dressing. Decent food overall and nice setting outside. Inside seating too is ok if you don’t have a pet and there’s no shaded seating outside. Also has ample parking.

Great cafe. We actually came here twice as we missed the desserts the first time we went there. The strawberry parfait and strawberry milk was delicious! My parents had the cake set and they thought it was tasty as well. The surroundings are very nice as well. Also this is a small thing but we loved how the staff closed the windows during rainy weather from the outside instead of closing them in the cafe, as the tables are right next to the windows in the cafe. That is very considerate of them.

Nice little cafe next to cat theme gift shop. With nice weather, it’s better to sit outside with nice view of Fuji.
