A café where you can spend time without strain on your body and mind.

A short walk from Fuse Station. FUJI CAFE stands in a corner of the shopping street, which is always crowded with people, looking neat and white.

In a town lined with old coffee shops, this café may seem a bit unusual. However, this “difference” seems to fit gently into the daily life of Fuse.

It was morning time when I stopped by. A mother and her small child are seated by the window. On the other side, a man, apparently on his way to work, is reading the newspaper and biting into a piece of toast.

Both of them are comfortable.

A professional touch to an ordinary morning

A morning at FUJI CAFE would not be complete without the “Kintaro Bread” next door.

Freshly baked bread arrives every morning from a long-established bakery that has been a favorite in this town for over 100 years.

This bread is also used to make pizza toast and shrimp gratin toast.

In addition, all toast sauces are homemade.
Even the standard pizza sauce is made by simmering tomatoes, onions, and garlic for an hour, giving it a richness that cannot be experienced at home.

It may sound like a common set meal, but there is something elegant and warm about it.
It is a taste that makes you want to start your day right from the first bite.

Lemonade is what turns on the morning switch.

A must-try at FUJI CAFE is homemade lemonade.
You can choose from iced, hot, or soda to suit your mood.

The slices of lemon that have been soaked in a sweetened sauce are placed in the bowl, giving it a somewhat charming appearance.

It has just the right amount of acidity to gently wake up the foggy morning head.
It is a drink that will lighten your mood the moment it is placed on the table.

Vegetables also play a leading role in the meal.

Not only in the morning. The restaurant is also busy during lunch hours.
Especially on weekends, there are many mom-and-pop groups and families, so it might be a good idea to make a reservation.

The lunch plate includes a choice of main dish (shrimp mayo, white fish with black vinegar, etc.), three small bowls of cooked food, and cereal rice.

It is healthy, colorful, and the volume is just right.
You will feel satisfied that you have eaten a proper meal.

I found myself talking and staying longer than I should have.
This may also be the charm of this place.

Relaxing with children

Many of the old coffee shops in Fuse are cigarette-allowed, making it difficult to enter with children.

FUJI CAFE, however, is completely non-smoking. The sofa seats are spacious, and there are kids’ chairs as well.

If someone spills a drink, the staff quickly responds with a smile.
It is this kindness that makes FUJI CAFE a place you want to come back to.

A new “usual place” in Fuse

More than a café, I would like to call it “a place to set up your morning”.
The aroma of bread, the gentle sweetness, the cozy air.
Perhaps it is not something special, but a necessary part of daily life.

FUJI CAFE is one of the “new faces” of Fuse.
But when you notice it, it blends easily into the everyday life of this town.

And it is sure to be a “good morning” for someone today.
