Get a Fuji Omelet in Yamanashi

Get a Fuji Omelet in Yamanashi

Sylvans (シルバンズ) is located in the town of Fujikawaguchiko on the northern edge of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture. The restaurant menu is a fairly typical mix of fusion dishes, including beef curry, taco rice (on Tuesdays) and "Fuji-san omu-hayashi" (富士山オムハヤシ)—an omelet in the shape of Mount Fuji, with rice and thick demi-glace sauce (¥1,200).

In Japan since 2001, I'm a former ALT trainer who's lived in Shizuoka, Saitama and Tokyo, and visited 34 of Japan's 47 prefectures (13 to go!). When I can get out from behind the editorial desk, I take photos, do bits of theater and practice German longsword.
