Mount Fuji

Why we love it

With a white curved roof and leather booth seating, the restaurant resembles a traditional Japanese bullet train. The wall of each booth is made to look like a train window, with an idyllic farming landscape visible in the distance. Owners, Andrew and Yoko Yamaguchi-Cooke chose this design in recognition of the bullet train that flies past their office in Shizuoaka, Japan (below Mount Fuji). And it’s not just the restaurant décor that reminds us of being in Japan; the food is authentic and varied, prepared fresh daily by a Japanese chef and served by Japanese waiting staff. Expect bento boxes, noodles, rice, sushi and curries, all washed down with a glass of traditional plum wine, sake or Japanese beer.
