I am so grateful that my husband chosen this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. I really loved the vibe here, so chill and relax so that the both of us can just sit back to enjoy the wonderful spring dinner course. Everything was so well cooked and delicious, from appetizer to soup to the sous vide A5 Fuji wagyu which just melted in my mouth 🥰🥰🥰 and the pasta was so lovely too. Ended with a Cappuccino and a specially arranged cake and fruit plate🥰🥰🥰 Both managers are nice and friendly and they speak good English too. Not to mention the hand written message and drawing 😊😊We will definitely come back on our next visit to Kawaguchiko！

建议所有吃腻日本拉面、寿司的老大来尝尝👍非常的美味！！
店员们很友善，会主动介绍菜品，桌上有手写的欢迎小条(´▽｀)
窗户外能看到富士山（我没拍照orz）
下午17:00开始营业，饮料服务是到18:00结束
店主歌品极好，会放一些上世纪的爵士、流行、蓝调音乐的mv/现场🎶 (Translated by Google) Highly recommend this to anyone tired of Japanese ramen and sushi! 👍 It's incredibly delicious!!
The staff are very friendly and will proactively introduce the dishes. There are handwritten welcome notes on the tables. You can see Mount Fuji from the window (I didn't take a picture, lol).
They open at 5:00 PM and drink service ends at 6:00 PM. The owner has excellent taste and plays music videos/live performances of jazz, pop, and blues from the last century. 🎶

It's a wonderful restaurant near Lake Kawaguchiko, with live music on weekends. Everything I had, from salmon carpaccio to hamburger steak omelet rice, was delicious. It's a stylish restaurant. The owner is also kind and helpful, it's the best.
It was my birthday, and when I ordered ice cream, I was surprised to receive a plate with fireworks and fruit!
It was a wonderful birthday. Thank you.

One of the best meals I had in Japan - every dish offered something different and delicious! Perfectly balanced fusion of Japanese and European flavours.
The live piano is only on Saturday. I went on a Sunday and the atmosphere was still pretty good, if you don’t mind a piano video projected on the wall. The staff are absolutely lovely and made it a memorable experience.

Such a friendly place. Great local produce, beer, wine, and sake, all from local regions. Food was delicious we had tempura prawns, salmon carpaccio, wagyu beef and grilled garlic mussels, all delicious and great wine recommendations from the waiter. Couldn’t be happier, also a little birthday treat which was nice.

Not and “Indian cuisine” restaurant though the name can be misleading. Great European menu (Italian & French blend), nice atmosphere and staff. Yamanashi wine was a questionable choice though. - 5-6pm is Happy Hour Californian Cabernet was spot on after day of hiking. Enjoy!

Buen restaurante cerca del monte Fuji. Comida y bebida local de alta calidad con un servicio muy atento y música en directo. Los precios se asemejan al rango español, lo que encarece la cuenta es el vino. (Translated by Google) A good restaurant near Mount Fuji. High-quality local food and drinks with attentive service and live music. Prices are similar to those in Spain; the wine is what drives up the bill.

I had made a dinner reservation for today, October 20, 2025, but due to a sudden and unavoidable problem, I reluctantly had to cancel my reservation.
I was extremely disappointed, as I had traveled a long way and had been looking forward to it since the day before.
But, but.
Even though I had canceled, the male waiter who answered the phone, who seemed to be the manager or manager?, said these words to me right away.
"Are you hurt or anything?"
"Is anything else bothering you?"
His beautiful words, tone of voice, and tone were exactly the same as the many other expressions of concern he had expressed for me.
It was as if he was caring for me and worrying about me right in front of me.
In the past, I have experience as a general manager of food and beverage service, a customer service representative, and a complaints handler.
The response of this male waiter at this restaurant this time was so thoughtful that it went far beyond just moving.
It was easy to imagine that in a restaurant with such wonderful people, the service, food, cleanliness, ambiance, hospitality, and "all QSCA" standards that form the foundation of a restaurant would be provided at an extremely high standard.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to visit this time, but I will be sure to come prepared next time.
I will never forget this "top-notch service" that is rare these days.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Unser Restaurantbesuch bei Sarasvati war wirklich ein richtiges Highlight unseres Urlaubs und wir können das Restaurant wärmstens weiterempfehlen.
Als wir reinkamen wurden wir gleich mit Gitarren- und Klavierklängen begrüßt, da es eine Music Night war. Das war richtig schön!
Das Essen wir wirklich überaus lecker und sehr hochwertig.
Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Kellner. Er konnte super englisch, hat unsere Bestellung erstmal optimiert und uns die besten Gerichte empfohlen. Außerdem war er äußerst umsichtig und zuvorkommend. (Translated by Google) Our visit to Sarasvati's restaurant was truly a highlight of our vacation, and we highly recommend it.
As we walked in, we were immediately greeted by the sounds of guitars and pianos, as it was a music night. It was truly beautiful!
The food was truly delicious and of very high quality.
The waiter deserves special mention. He spoke excellent English, optimized our order, and recommended the best dishes for us. He was also extremely attentive and courteous.

本日、2025年10月20日にディナーを予約していましたが、突然の回避不能のトラブルにみまわれ、泣く泣く予約をキャンセルさせていただいた者です。
遠路で前日から楽しみにしていたこともあり、大変残念でなりませんでした。
しかし、しかしです。
キャンセルしたにも関わらず、電話対応して下さった、店長？マネージャー？らしき男性の店員さんは私に開口一番こう言って下さったのです。
「お怪我等はないですか？」
「その他なにか大変ではありませんか？」と。
その他にも私を気遣う言葉の数々と寸分違わない美しい言葉遣い、声色、トーン。
それはまるで、私の目の前で労わり心配して下さるような感覚さえ覚えました。
私は過去、飲食接客の統括マネージャー、お客様相談室長、クレーム対応をしてきた経験があります。
今回、こちらのお店のこの男性の店員さんの対応は、感動を遥かに超える心配りを感じました。
このような素晴らしい方がいるお店なら、接客はもちろん、料理、クレンリネス、雰囲気、おもてなし、飲食店の基盤となる「QSCA全て」が超高水準で提供されているだろうことは、容易に想像出来ました。
今回残念ながら伺うことは出来ませんでしたが、次回必ず万全にして伺いたいと思っています。
近年稀にみる「超一流のサービス」を、決して忘れません。
ご対応いただきありがとうございました。
