It was established in 1930, and it has a good reputation still now from many people include foreign visitors. Now, it is a well-known cultural property. All of the food is wonderful and has a rich taste. In addition, The Fujiya has located in Hakone which has nature, so it has a relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant has a long history, so there is a lot of antique furniture like chairs, tables, and so on. The building is also old, so we can feel a unique atmosphere as if we are in another place, another era. There are many sculptures and ceiling paintings, so you will be interested in not only the food, but also the artistic, classical restaurant. Since 1930, the restaurant has kept the same taste, appearance of building, atmosphere, and serving. It is one of the reasons that The Fujiya is loved by many people. In this restaurant, there are many French dishes. These French dishes are delicious, but I would like to recommend curry rice. This is the most poplar dish in The Fujiya. In 1964, Japanese Showa Emperor ate this curry rice. Many people become repeater, and people come to The Fujiya just to eat this curry. This curry has five different types; beef, chicken, seafood, king crab, and the pork cutlet. So you can choose. The chef sticks to this curry, so it uses 100% consommé and chef cooks it for 4 days. After that, it is kept for 2 days. It takes a long time to cook, therefore the taste and smell is wonderful and elegant. All service is perfect, because the waiter lets us feel the relaxing, elegant atmosphere. Besides all tables are not so close, so we don’t feel other customers, we can spend just our time and place. I ate this curry this August, but I can’t forget this special taste yet, and I want to eat this curry again. If you eat it, you will be surprised at the taste, atmosphere and so on. Then you will want to go again. However the curry is a little expensive, but it gives you perfect satisfaction. In addition, Fujiya hotel is really rich, so it may be difficult to stay. But if you go to The Fujiya, you can feel rich and a retro hotel’s atmosphere without a stay. You need not reserve lunch time, so if you visit Hakone, you should go there. There are many other dishes, so you will not be bored, so please check this restaurant.
