Fuji Tempura Idaten - Fujikawaguchiko

This is a very special restaurant and I can't rate it high enough. the service is simply excellent. I ordered the nice tempura with the Vegan battery. the chef came to deliver our food, and I asked him if the tempura sauce on the theke was vegan and explained it was not, but he just went into the kitchen and made me some vegan tempura sauce from scratch free! he recommend some other vegan seasonal vegetable options he had for which I decided to go. after that he asked me some questions about how veganism would increase and what vegans would really like to see on a menu. he really seemed like he would like to get on the market and offer vegans more! he was great for the information and gave me and my girlfriend a free service of amasake everyone! sweet creamy rice wine the gastfreundschaft was so good and the food was so tasty that we also retreated to dinner the next day. he seemed to see us again and after our meal he gave us another free service of some special nihonshu Japanese rice wine sake and also sour plum tempura! we were so happy to receive such a generous treatment that we could not believe it! I have never received such good hospitality in a restaurant before it really set the bar and I cannot recommend it enough. eating is so delicious and rice, soba and suppen are all they can eat. here is the sky of vegan tempura! what a great place. they even cook the vegan tempura in a separate kitchen. A pity that I can give it only 4 stars as it deserves 10!

Only 1 vegan option but it was really good! Tempura mixed vegetables unlimited rice. The menu was really easy because on the first page it says in English vegan and to 'point here' if you'd like eggless batter. The veg tempura is also clearly labelled. Unlike past reviews when we were there they did use a seperate tray to serve mine seperately from my husbands fish. They also cooked mine in seperate oil. I think that any restaurant that's not entirely vegan there is a high chance of a bit of cross contamination but I found that they made a real effort here

The vegetable tempura is vegan as long as you mention that you’re vegan. One dressing is vegan too onion which isn’t labeled as vegan but the staff explained it was. Miso soup has fish stock so I think it’s easier to get a la carte veges rather than the set and buy a side of rice which is all you can eat . It was tasty tempura and nice to have an option in kawaguchiko. The only thing that put me off was the girl working behind the counter threw the vegan tempura onto the same serving tray as my husbands non vegan tempura. Literally picked up in tongs and threw it onto the tray lol. Pretty sure they were cooked in separate vats of oil but what’s the point if they all get mixed together in the end anyway...

This place had a really cool vibe and was easy to find. It was very busy so had to wait about 40 minutes but was worth it. Only one vegan vegetarian option but clearly labelled.

OK tempura, but really small pieces! It’s kinda cool to eat but if you’re really hungry, it’s gonna cost you
