Shummiwasai Setouchi

If you go to one place for dinner in Fujishoyida, let it be Setouchi. The food was incredible. Definitely get the hotpot and the sashimi is a must too. So fresh and beautifully cut. The restaurant setting is really lovely too. Its interiors and welcoming atmosphere make you feel totally at home. W...e were surrounded by locals and didn’t feel out of place at all. The experience was made all the better thanks to a mother and son duo with such kindness and hospitality. The male owner taught us lots of Japanese (and we exchanged some English phrases too) and because we were celebrating our honeymoon they gave us free plum wine and a handcrafted pencil case. Such a lovely gift and something to remember our fantastic evening. We couldn’t have asked for a better meal. Thank you so much.

Setouchi is a perfect mom&pop restaurant that feels like you’re eating homemade food at your Japanese relatives - funny Japanese tv on, delicious homemade grilled fish, deep fried mackerel/squid, grilled pork and veggies, and really friendly service. It’s nestled off the main road, but has a welcomi...ng feel to it when you enter. One of the best things about traditional Japanese dining is the “teishoku” (set meals with many different dishes), and Hisashi and Masako put so much love and flavor in their sets! Highly recommend the yakiniku teishoku! Best part about teishoku is it’s a lot for a great price of $10 USD. When you’re in the Fuji Yoshida area, and want some great Japanese home cooking for a very reasonable price, check out Hisashi and Masako at Setouchi!
