Shonan Oki Jigani Senmon Ten Fuji Tsuki

We enjoyed the Golden King Crab for dinner, and it was truly an incredible and memorable experience. The crab was exceptionally fresh, and the chef prepared it using a variety of cooking methods like shabu shabu, sashimi, steamed egg, and crab with rice — each dish was absolutely amazing. The staff communicated fluently in English, which made the experience even more comfortable and enjoyable. The only downside was that we weren’t seated directly in front of the chef, so we couldn’t watch their techniques up close. Still, it was a wonderful dining experience.

Fujitsuki, located with excellent access just a short walk from Sakuragicho Station. It's a restaurant where you can savor authentic crab dishes in a calm atmosphere, surprising for its proximity to the station. The perfection here is such that even the phrase "to fully enjoy crab" feels insufficient. This was my first experience truly eating my fill of crab, and this time I chose Ibaragani (King Crab). The densely packed meat is robust down to every fiber, and the richer the flavor becomes with each chew. Its appeal also lies in enjoying the crab's diverse expressions, which are hard to believe come from the same creature: the freshness of the sashimi, the fragrant grilled, and the rare-grilled that maximizes its sweetness. Furthermore, the accompanying paired drinks are exquisite, elevating the perfection of each dish. Combined with the live, sensory performance of the cooking unfolding before your eyes, the meal is elevated into an entertainment experience enjoyed with all five senses. The thoughtfulness of being able to take the finishing earthenware pot rice and flaked crab meat home as onigiri is also delightful, making it a memorable, renowned restaurant whose lingering impressions continue even after returning home.

Enjoyed local crabs from the Shonan coast! It was a luxurious and wonderful time! I finally got to try the crab course at "Fujitsuki," a specialty restaurant for local crabs from the Shonan coast, located in Sakuragicho. As I sat at the counter, a dignified atmosphere filled the air, and my heart pounded with anticipation for the meal to come. The presentation and smile of the young chef, who is only 25 years old, were wonderful. First, the "Sakizuke" (appetizer) was a dressed crab meat and miso. The moment it touched my tongue, the rich umami of the crab miso spread throughout, blending exquisitely with the delicate sweetness of the crab meat. This dish alone convinced me of the restaurant's skill. The "Zokou no Suishōzen" (crystal platter of sashimi) that followed was breathtakingly beautiful. Crab meat, chia seeds, chrysanthemums, and Kintoki carrots were arranged, sparkling like a jewel box. It paired perfectly with Yokosuka Beer, the beer's crispness further enhancing the sweetness of the crab. In the "Futa Mono Wan" (lidded soup bowl), duck jibuni and crab meat harmonized gently in a warm broth, offering a deeply flavorful taste perfect for the cold season. The faint aroma of yuzu wafted through my nose, warming me to the core. The "Hassun" (assortment of appetizers) featured items showcasing the chef's skill, such as crab leg sushi, crab roe, and wasabi. The sheer luxury of it made it difficult to decide where to start, and savoring each piece was pure bliss. And then, the crab sashimi. The translucent crab meat melted in my mouth, leaving a lingering sensation. The sweetness and umami, only possible with fresh local crabs, left a lasting aftertaste. The grilled crab, carefully grilled over charcoal, had a tantalizing aroma that whetted my appetite. The excitement of separating the meat from the shell was also irresistible. The perfect balance of miso and rare-cooked meat allowed me to fully savor the crab's original flavor. For the crab shabu-shabu, simply watching the crab meat, lightly dipped in the broth, bloom plumply made me happy. Enjoying it lightly with ponzu sauce revealed another facet of the crab's charm, which was delightful. The steamed crab course also included a surprising "crab miso croquette," adding a playful touch. The combination with seasonal tempura was also enjoyable, keeping the course from becoming monotonous. For the meal, "Sōsui Gohan" (simmered rice) was served in a vessel made by Ichibei Nakagawa. Served with salmon roe and pickles, the deep flavor of the rice, infused with crab broth, was deeply moving. The accompanying crab miso soup also delivered a final wave of crab-filled happiness. Concluding with a seasonal sweet, a pleasant sense of satisfaction enveloped me even after finishing everything. The inter-course presentations were also spectacular, allowing me to enjoy the experience with all five senses, not just taste. The chef's every movement conveyed his pride as a craftsman, and the passion transmitted across the counter made me feel a sense of uprightness. It's rare to find a restaurant where you can enjoy crab prepared in such a diverse range of ways. "Fujitsuki," with its unwavering dedication to local crabs from the Shonan coast, is a gem of a restaurant that I would love to visit for a special occasion. I sincerely hope to return again.

Booked on Sunday, and it's a 2-hour course, so punctuality is a must! However, I was late because I couldn't park nearby, but I'm grateful that they kindly accepted me 🥲 I went to eat a crab course for the first time in my life, and I thought this restaurant's food, service, and performance were all wonderful! I think anyone who likes crab will be very pleased! This time I had the king crab, but I really want to try the Japanese spider crab too 🤤👺 In the end, it's a restaurant that even seems to offer good value for money!
