What an amazing restaurant! The atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to explain the local ingredients used in each dish and recommended beers from local breweries, which made the experience even more special.
The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. One of the biggest advantages is that they're open late, which is perfect after a long day exploring the Mt. Fuji area.
If you're staying near Mt. Fuji in Japan, I highly recommend stopping by Sarasvati Restaurant & Bar. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful dining experience! Andddd they have IPA Beer 7% and stiff Drinks

Heerlijk eten aardige man je je van alles kan uitleggen over de sake. Heb helaas geen foto’s gemaakt maar het zag er heerlijk uit (Translated by Google) Delicious food, nice man who can explain everything to you about the sake. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos, but it looked delicious.

Service was amazing. We celebrated our engagement here and even with a language barrier we were treated amazing, had the menus thoroughly explained to us and was even given a dessert plate complimentary to celebrate. Food was incredible and all sourced locally. Could not fault it.

Wir sind hier zufällig gelandet und wurden total überrascht mit sehr gutem Service und tollem Essen! Der Kellner ist super freundlich und hat sehr gutes Englisch gesprochen. Hier gibt es nur lokale Produkte, die zu den Gerichten verarbeitet werden. Sehr weiter zu empfehlen. Zudem wird hier unter anderem auch live Musik an einem Samstag Abend gespielt und später am Abend gibt es sogar live DJs, welche auflegen. (Translated by Google) We stumbled upon this place by chance and were totally surprised by the excellent service and fantastic food! The waiter was incredibly friendly and spoke very good English. They only use local products in their dishes. Highly recommended! They also have live music on Saturday nights, and later in the evening there are even live DJs.

氛圍很棒！而且窗外就能看到漂亮的富士山
服務態度非常好～外國人也很友善
可以用英文溝通❤️🥰
食物非常美味～
昂很開心的體驗 (Translated by Google) The atmosphere was fantastic! And you could see the beautiful Mount Fuji from the window. The service was excellent—the foreigners were very friendly, and we could communicate in English. ❤️🥰 The food was delicious! Overall, a very enjoyable experience.

I visited for the first time on a Sunday evening.
I was seated at a counter seat with a view of Mount Fuji.
Dinner began with enjoying the view of Mount Fuji until sunset.
I listened to explanations of the recommended dishes and ordered a variety of items. I also asked about recommendations from the regular menu and enjoyed delicious, carefully prepared dishes for as long as time allowed.
The drink menu was also extensive, and it's a wonderful restaurant that opens as a bar at 10 PM.
I would like to stop by again if I have the opportunity to visit Kawaguchiko.

We had a really great experience at this restaurant. The food was very delicious and everything tasted fresh and high quality. The atmosphere was very nice and comfortable, which made the whole experience even better.
The price-performance ratio was also very good for what you get. What stood out the most was the excellent service — the staff spoke very good English, gave great recommendations, and were professional and friendly the entire time.
Would definitely recommend this place and would come back again!

We were just looking for a nice bar for the aperitif and eventually spent one of the best nights of our trip! Live music, excellent service and quality of the dishes. We have been welcomed warmly and treated carefully. Thank you for such nice memories.

The DJ's music, the dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, and the extensive wine pairing were fantastic.
They had a wide selection of wines, including many from Yamanashi Prefecture. The sparkling rosso I had, with its subtle grape sweetness and light, airy feel, left a long, lingering finish that allowed me to fully enjoy the long evening in Yamanashi. It was a restaurant where I could truly enjoy both the food and the music.
It's easily accessible from Tokyo, so I'll definitely be back.
Delicious sake 🍶, tasteful music 🎵, piano 🎹, high-quality Koshu Wagyu beef, and Mr. Takiguchi, with whom I clicked so well it was hard to believe it was our first meeting. It couldn't have been more perfect.
Mr. Takiguchi's sake suited my taste perfectly, and above all, his personality and character were wonderful. I was also allowed to play the restaurant's Shigeru Kawai piano, and he chatted with me bilingually all night, even though I was traveling alone and my Japanese was poor. It left a very lasting impression on me.
It was a truly unforgettable experience. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much.

We came for some night late cocktails and had a lovely time. Such a fun atmosphere and lovely husband/wife owner team. Make sure to ask for a round of Cocalero bombs for an excellent start to the night! Highly recommend for drinks out late in Fujikawaguchiko!

We were beyond pleased with our dinner at Sarasvati tonight, both the service and the meals themselves were above standard. We were greeted so warmly from the start and were given extensive information and assistance when ordering food and drinks. The portions are not large as other reviews have noted, but they are definitely sufficient. Two members of our party ordered just appetizers as their meal and they were informed that it may not be enough to fill someone for a full dinner and advised on how to add to the order to make it a fuller meal. The space inside has comfortable seating with low lights to make for a cozy atmosphere. Overall, I would highly encourage everyone to visit Sarasvati.
Also, we were walk-ins and there was no problem at all!

This place is going to be in my mind for quite awhile. Our server was phenomenal. The happy hour drinks were awesome. We were fortunate to be here long enough for the live pianist to start playing and wow. Would have paid just to sit for her playing. The food was so next level I’m not even sure what to say. Had the signature wagyu suvé dish with garlic bread. Was perfect. With the great Moscow mules the live piano I was sold on 5 stars but the food was perfect. This will be quite the memorable dinner in Japan wish I was here another night so I could come back. The staff 12/10 as well as the food. All locally sourced from their local farm and you can tell. The server was elite and he spoke great English was great to converse with him about the local ingredients/farm and dishes. Also the drinks were strong. I’m just so happy we found this place!

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！

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. 🎶

日曜日のディナータイムに初訪問しました。
富士山を眺めることができるカウンター席に案内いただきました。
日が暮れるまで富士山を楽しみながらディナーがスタート。
おすすめメニューの説明を聞き、一通りオーダーさせていただきました。グランドメニューから、おすすめなどを聞き、時間の許す限り拘りの美味しいお料理をいただくことができました。
ドリンクメニューも豊富で、
22時からBARの営業もはじまる素敵なお店でした。
河口湖に来る機会があった際は、立ち寄りたいと思います。

DJのサウンド+地産地消食材を使ったお料理と豊富なワインのペアリングが最高でした。
ワインも山梨県産に特化した物も豊富にあり私が頂いた微発泡でブドウのほのかな甘味のワードローブに包まれてふんわりした感覚のスパークリングロッソは山梨での夜長を満喫出来る程余韻が長くお食事と音楽も楽しめたお店でした。
都内からのアクセスも良いのでまたリピートさせて頂きます。

このお店で本当に素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。
美味しいお酒🍶、センスある音楽🎵、ピアノ🎹、高品質な甲州和牛、そして初対面とは思えないほど気の合う滝口さん。これ以上完璧なものはありません
滝口さんの作るお酒はとても口に合いましたし、何よりお人柄、性格が素晴らしかったです。お店のShigeru Kawaiピアノも弾かせていただき、一人旅で日本語も拙い私に、バイリンガルで一晩中チャットしてくださり、とても心に残りました
本当に忘れられない体験でした。またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。ありがとうございました。
