About this place
One drink that catches the eye at Furusato is the fruit chu-hi, substantial enough to feel like part of the meal. One diner who ordered the freshly squeezed watermelon and kiwi chu-hi remembered its generous fruit and intensity, noting that it left them feeling full by the end. If you plan to order snacks as well, it may be worth keeping an eye on portions. The menu also lists freshly squeezed kiwi-fruit chu-hi, along with grapefruit and pineapple versions, giving fruit-forward drinkers several sweet-tart options.
For a meal built around fish, you could start with an assorted sashimi platter. One diner described thick-cut sashimi including medium-fatty tuna, sweet shrimp and yellowtail. Another mentioned kelp-cured flounder and young tuna sashimi. It is a flexible choice for anyone looking to branch out from sashimi into other fish dishes and sake.
Furusato’s broad menu also makes room for yakitori and fried dishes alongside the fish. Choose yakitori skewers individually, including tsukune chicken meatballs, liver and gizzard, or opt for an assortment. Tempura options include an assortment of seven vegetables and a plate of four prawn tempura. One visitor also singled out stir-fried bean sprouts as a memorable dish.
Save room for rice porridge if you want to finish with something warm. Options include vegetable, egg, and wakame seaweed with spicy cod roe; they can round off a meal of sashimi and small plates or serve as a more substantial final course. The menu notes that chawanmushi steamed egg custard takes “about 30 minutes”, so allow time when ordering it.
Furusato may be busy even on weekdays, according to diners, and accepts dinner reservations. Payment is cash only.
