Yamanashi, Japan｜いづ屋

Ended up arriving right before they closed. They were very accommodating and made some food for us to go.

Wow this place is a hidden gem! We stayed at the Fruit Park Fujiya Hotel and this place was a recommendation by the front desk, pretty close and open late.. came upon it by chance and it was a WOW meal! We sat at the sushi bar and had the Omakase (chef’s choice of what is currently the freshest) ..first time we ever tried it and this place was the BEST! First of all the service was over the top, gave you a blanket when you sat down and the baskets for your things, the lady who greeted us was the granddaughter of the original owner and her son was the sushi chef! (4th generation sushi restaurant open for 97 years!) my mom in law translated a lot of things but the sushi chef showed us the pictures of the fish and described some of them as well! So cool! Can’t say enough how delicious the food was, the Uni was the best I’ve ever had, and the fish was unique and prepared in the most delicious ways! The wasabi was grated in front of us and the kani/nori (crab/seaweed) chawan mushi was unique and amazing. Suuuuper friendly service and just the best food! Last thing I’m going to say is my sister doesn’t really eat raw fish too often, but the way that everything was prepared was special and just the right taste. An unforgettable meal and we are so glad to have met this family! :)

Came here for a work party and the service was wonderful and the food delicious!
