Fujinomiya City benefiting from untold amounts of best natural water thanks to the proximity to Mount Fuji, it was only a question of time for new beer breweries sprouting here and there!
I visited one of them recently, namely Mount Fuji Brewing! An easy name to remember, isn’t it?
The brewery including a vast restaurant is conveniently located near the entrance of Sengen Shrine, arguably the most important one in the Prefecture, meaning there crowds of thirsty visitors to satisfy! The beer is brewed inside the very precincts for all to see!
It also includes a vast restaurant patronized by beer lovers and families alike. Note the restaurant hours.
The food is definitely of a higher standard for the simple reason that Fujinomiya City is one of the most noted agricultural areas in the Prefecture, be it vegetables, meat or even fish (it is famous for its many kinds of trouts!)!
Take a good look at the beautiful menu, be it for drinks, food, or both!
If it is your first visit, I would definitely recommend a tasting set of at least three craft beers brewed on site!
They do also serve beers from other breweries on a collaboration basis!
Above is the set I chose!
Kuro Tobi Fuji/Black Kite (the bird!) Fuji! Stout, ABV 4.2, IBU 6!
Kooji Fuji! IPA, ABV 5.0, IBU 30.2!
Yamabuki Fuji! Pale Ale, ABV 5.0, IBU 15!
And don’t forget the food! Plenty of surprises in wait for you!
But that is for the next report! LOL
