Nestled within the 'Forest of Bustle' in Inabe City, Mie Prefecture, 'FUCHITEI' is like a gem in the forest. Surrounded by lush nature, this restaurant offers a special space away from everyday life. Large windows offer a sweeping view of the forest, with the outside light gently illuminating the interior like a painting.
The highlight of FUCHITEI is undoubtedly its hot dogs grilled over a wood fire. The bread used is called 'magic bread,' offering a perfect texture that's crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Similarly, the sausages grilled over wood fires are notably juicy, with meat juices bursting forth upon the first bite.
One of the popular menu items, the curry dog features the smokiness from the wood fire combined with fried onions and curry spices to create a unique flavor. A word of caution: freshly grilled sausages are very hot, so be careful with the first bite!
Aside from hot dogs, they offer authentic dishes rarely available, such as terrine and pâté en croûte. The side menu's fried potatoes, with their fluffy texture and simple taste, are particularly popular.
Additionally, drinks like summer orange soda and hot ginger are abundant, allowing you to enjoy pairings with your meal.
In the middle of the restaurant is a fireplace burning wood, creating a warm atmosphere. Both interior and exterior designs are stylish, making not just the meals but the space itself enjoyable.
Processed goods like terrine are also popular as souvenirs. Enjoying FUCHITEI's flavors at home is a delightful perk.
FUCHITEI offers an experience beyond just dining. The forest setting, wood-fire-cooked dishes, and comfortable space come together beautifully to captivate visitors continually. When visiting Mie Prefecture, make sure to stop by—it's bound to become an unforgettable memory.
