Fuji Sake Bar will open on the basement floor of Fujikyu Terminal Building Q-STA, adjacent to Mt. Fuji Station, on February 1, 2025.
Take the escalator or stairs down to the basement level, and head towards the big red flag of "FUJISAN FOODCOURT," and you'll see it at the end!

At the entrance, they sell a wide variety of original menu items such as rice balls and seafood bowls. They are available for a variety of occasions, such as takeaway while you wait for a train or bus, or eating in at the counter seats in the back. You can also purchase food and eat it in the food court.

And what's most noteworthy is the lineup of sake in the store! There are a whopping 24 types!
The owner wanted to "liven up this wonderful station building" and "share the charms of Yamanashi with tourists," so he provides a space where visitors can taste sake and wine made in Yamanashi.
Not only sake, but also eight different types of wine are available at any one time, so you can compare them! It's great to be able to discover the flavor that suits you, just like tasting at a winery.
Unfortunately, I was driving on the day of the interview, so the tasting session had to wait, so I decided to enjoy the extensive food menu instead.

This is a seafood inari that they recently started selling. Not only is it overflowing with seafood, but the taste of the homemade fried tofu is also amazing! The aroma of the dashi stock and the lightly sweet seasoning are exquisite and delicious!
After making it many times, I felt that vinegared rice did not go well with the deep-fried tofu, so by adding regular rice, I was able to achieve a wonderful balance that brings out the flavor of the deep-fried tofu and seafood.

The cleverly named "That Raw Egg on Rice" is apparently a very popular menu item at "Sakanaya Satori," which is run by the owner's husband!
First, put a little of the secret original "kaeshi" into the eggs. After beating the eggs, pour them over rice topped with colorful "nishiki sesame" colored with bonito flakes, flying fish roe, pumpkin and carrot powder. The sweet kaeshi, bonito flakes, and nishiki sesame have a rich aroma, and the unique flavor is just too delicious. The texture of the flying fish roe also adds an accent.

I thought I'd try the classic apple pie for dessert, but then I found out they also have seasonal strawberry! I was so lucky! The homemade custard is creamy and not too sweet, with a light pie crust and sweet and sour strawberries...it goes without saying that it's delicious!
By the way, the classic apple pie has a very new feel to it, as it contains apples boiled in mirin.

For those who want to fully enjoy the tasting, we recommend a menu of snacks that are perfect for pairing with the wines.
During your trip, or while you're out shopping, why not stop by FUJI SAKE BAR, which offers a wide range of entertainment for both tourists and locals?
