Experience Authentic Tempura and Soba at Fuji Tenpura Soba Opening Soon in 2025

Introducing 'Fuji Tenpura Soba'

Scheduled to open on December 17, 2025, Fuji Tenpura Soba is an exciting new culinary venture by Four Seasons Inc., located in the scenic Gotemba Premium Outlet at the foothills of Mount Fuji. This establishment offers an exceptional dining experience with its focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients that showcase the region’s natural bounty.

The Essence of Authentic Tempura and Soba

At Fuji Tenpura Soba, guests can indulge in expertly crafted tempura made from an array of seasonal treasures sourced from the rich waters of Suruga Bay and the flavorful vegetables grown in the Hakone region. Carefully selected ingredients, such as Mishima vegetables cultivated at elevations above 50 meters in a warm and humid plateau, are prepared to highlight their natural sweetness and flavor.

Each piece of tempura is cooked in a delicate batter using a blend of cottonseed oil and pure sesame oil, accompanied by domestically sourced wheat flour for a light and crispy texture that brings out the true essence of the ingredients.

The tempura is served with a special sauce made from a concentrated broth of kombu and katsuobushi (dried bonito) combined with mirin and soy sauce, adding depth to every bite. Freshly grated daikon radish from Shizuoka revitalizes the dish, while two types of salt – Okinawa salt and ‘Tenku no Matcha’ (matcha from the sky) from Shizuoka – are offered to enhance the flavors even further.

Soba Made Fresh Daily

Along with the tempura, diners can enjoy soba made from Aizu buckwheat flour, ground on-site using a traditional stone mill. This dedication results in freshly milled, freshly made, and freshly boiled soba that boasts a rich aroma and flavorful experience.

Dining Options to Delight Every Palate

Fuji Tenpura Soba offers diverse menu options including the Premium Course featuring fresh sashimi caught in local waters, such as hon-maguro (bluefin tuna) and various sizzling tempura selections. Guests can also savor the Tempura Set, which showcases seven carefully curated dishes, and choose from a variety of soba or mini rice bowls to accompany the tempura.

Examples from the Menu:

- Premium Course (5,500 yen) includes: Two large tempura prawns, deep-fried whole shiitake mushrooms, and seasonal vegetables.
- Tempura Gozen (1,960 yen) consisting of two tempura prawns, white fish, and seasonal vegetables.
- Soba Options featuring Soba with shrimp tempura and special dipping noodles.
