Fujin Teppanyaki & Japanese Whisky

Another time with Pergi Kuliner Team! Sure i am excited... This time we are having dinner together with other foodies at Fujin Teppanyaki & Japanese Whisky, Senopati. It is my first time visit here. I heard this restaurant has just been open recently.

As the name, they are built in Japanese concept which it Teppanyaki restaurant. All around the restaurant is having wooden theme. Start from the building, floor, wall, tables & chair and also it got a cooking bar at the center.

Just let you know, they are only open in particular time, about lunch time and dinner time. So i suggest it necessary to have a reservation before going there, especially they are having a lot of customers though. They are specialized in various Teppan dishes, also many kind of meal we could have before start the dinner.

First we have is Tuna Tataki. it is sliced Tuna marinated and seared on a pan. It has beautiful presentation, nice red color of tuna, and it cooked well done. It also served with bunch of fresh veggies salad.

This is absolutely recommended meal you should have. We also having edamame to be our starter. Nothing Special, but it is good choice while waiting other friends haven't arrived yet. Another great starter to have is Wagyu Gyutansio Teppanyaki. It is grilled ox-tongue in marinated sauce.Meat does have nice texture, it has been cooked well done but sauce is too sour i guess. It almost covered up the meat taste since it is strong.

Next dish is Mentaiko Potato Cheese Pizza. It is hotplate of pizza slices with shrimp, mentaiko and potato also covered with mozzarella cheese. It is bit salty, it has nice texture and bites, pizza does have nice dough and little crunchy edge of it. Next dish is Chicken Nanban. It has beautiful presentation, slices of cooked marinated chicken tooped with Japanese tartar sauce. Not really fascinating taste, it is stir fried chicken, good texture but it taste too sour.

Then we have Salmon Teriyaki. It is served with bunch of various mushroom, it also has sour taste as well. Salmon bit overcooked and it does not have any special taste of it. I think it would be better if short time cook for the salmon to put out the rich taste of it.

Then we have Butterfish Misozuke. It is grilled marinated gindara fish, it has beautiful color, nice texture and taste good but it seems over decoration. Much of unnecessary ingredients are on plate while fish only 2 tiny slices. 

Next dish is Fujin Taki Udon Seafood. It is teppanyaki udon Fujin style, stir fried udon teppan style with bunch of seafood. It has nice plating, but it doesn't have much flavor to describe, only salt taste. Next dish is Gyoza Pork. I am not recommended for this one, since it's oily and filling is not great when you found meat is not firm enough, i could taste it is rough minced meat and the skin is too sticky and oily.

Then we have Avocado Salmon Tuna Tartar. it is grilled garlic baquette with bowl of salmon & tuna tartar with avocado. It is fine, not fascinating though. It has nice concept but i do not taste any salmon and tuna it own taste. 

Next is Tiger Prawn Broccoli Mayo. It is grilled tiger prawn and broccoli with creamy mayo sauce. It has good bites, one sure not enough. Prawn does have good texture, it is grilled well done also matched with the mayo sauce.

After finished several main dish, we are having few kind of dessert. First, we have Macha Creme Brulee. it is small bowl of green macha creme brulee, it has lovely flavor, strong green tea and it does have good texture, super rich.

Then we have Cheesecake Cocktail. It is creamy cheese with orange liqueur mixed with berry sauce on top. It is rich, scrumptious and super moist. Also it has sour flavor by the orange, it is delicate. And don't forget, it is beautiful presentation too.

Last dessert we have is Macha Ogura Shiratama. It is green tea ice cream with bunch of mochi balls, red bean paste and straberry slice. It's typical green tea ice cream, not so strong at the creme brulee, mochi is plain, and red bean doesn't have any taste here since it covered up by the ice cream. All over, this restaurant not so bad, some menu does not consistent, but i recommended some e.g tuna tataki, butterfish, or the prawn. it is good. For price, i guess this is normal around the Senopati area, as we know it's one of hits spot in town. Just they need to fix waiter service to be better, fast response especially when there's a lot of customers. 

Teppanyaki spot yang baru buka belum lama ini di Senopati, dimana awalnya berdiri di Bali dengan nama Rayjin Teppanyaki ini memang telah lama terkenal di daerah Seminyak Bali. Baru setelah semingguan tempat ini buka, Fujin melayani untuk lunch yaitu pada jam 11.00 - 15.00 , sementara untuk dinner, dilayani mulai pukul 18.00 - 20.30.

Begitu masuk, anda akan langsung merasakan nuansa khas Jepang yang cozy dan wah. Teppanyaki bar yang akan anda lihat pada saat masuk ini menjadi satu dengan barnya di bagian belakangnya. lightning di tempat ini didominasi dengan lightning yang berwarna kuning sehingga menimbulkan suasana yang hangat dan eksklusif.
Pelayanannya pun memuaskan, dimana waiter dan waitressnya sigap dalam melayani, namun memang bila dari segi harga, makanan disini harganya menengah ke atas.
Berikut ulasan atas makanan yang saya pesan waktu berkunjung :
1. Pork Belly Syogayaki Pork belly yang dimasak dengan shoyu, jahe dan bumbu seperti teriyaki, ditambah bawang bombay dan disajikan dengan salad kol. Rasanya cukup oke, dimana pork bellynya tender dan juga komposisi antara daging serta lemaknya pas. Hanya saja, porsi yang ditawarkan di sini lebih mengarah ke fine dining sehingga lebih hanya untuk konsumsi sendiri dibandingkan untuk sharing.
2. Fujin Yaki Udon Pork Udon yang dimasak ala teppanyaki dengan daging babi dan disajikan dengan nori dan sedikit awetan jahe. Rasanya rich dan agak terasa seperti okonomiyaki, daging babinya pun juga tender, pas disajikan dengan hotplate serta dimakan hangat!
3. Butterfish Omizuke Makanan yang satu ini, terdiri dari 2 pieces kecil ikan yang dimasak ala teppan dan disajikan dengan saus dan sayuran. Ikannya enak, empuk dan tidak amis dimana sausnya yang terdiri dari rasa butter, jahe, wijen dan bumbu spesialnya bener-bener menguatkan rasa dari ikannya, this is good! sayangnya porsi yang disajikan sangat sedikit sehingga tidak puas menikmatinya.
4. Teppanyaki Garlic Rice Ini makanan yang menurut saya paling ga enak. Nasi yang seperti nasi goreng namun kurang bumbu, terdiri dari telur, sedikit daging dan daun bawang. Untuk harga 60rb rupiah, anda hanya mendapatkan semangkuk kecil nasi ini, menurut saya tidak worth untuk dipesan dan untuk carbs lebih baik memesan udon dibandingkan ini.
5. Chicken Nanban Ini salah satu hidangan paling enak yang saya rekomendasikan untuk dipesan! 2 pieces potongan fillet ayam yang crispy luarnya dipadukan dengan saus tar tar dan pesto. This is so good! ayamnya begitu dipadukan dengan tar tar dan pesto menjadi fresh! Ini adalah menu wajib yang pasti akan saya pesan lagi ketika saya berkunjung kembali ke sini.
6. Tuna Tataki Selain chicken nanban, ini adalah menu yang juga saya rekomendasikan! Tuna yang fresh disajikan dengan salad seperti cherry tomato, selada, avocado dan saus tartar, belum lagi permukaan luarnya yang crunchy! it tasted that good!
7. Sumiyaki coffee
Kopi khas Jepang yang harus disajikan dengan krim dan gula, sayang sekali saya tidak bisa menikmati black coffeenya saja karena memang sudah standarnya untuk disajikan demikian. Agak terlalu manis rasanya namun sebenarnya base coffeenya enak karena terasa bitter dan strongnya.
Jangan lupa, ketika berkunjung ke sini, pastikan anda melakukan reservasi terlebih dahulu sehingga mendapatkan name card unik khas Fujin ini yang instagramable .
