History
The year 2020 has been a drastic year with many changes across the industry, and we have also had to pivot our original plan of opening our second sit-down location in San Jose into a brand new concept of a deli-style take-out only restaurant alongside many popular Japanese favorite packaged snacks and drinks. It is somewhat reminiscent of a Japanese convenience store, a popular destination from kids to adults searching for a quick bite of quality food and snacks. Despite the setbacks, we are not standing still and are excited to bring the new concept to you in the tough times. What's certain is we bring the same quality okonomiyaki as well as adding kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers - another Osaka delicacy) to our menu. We have also teamed up with Shalala, formerly located in Mountain View, where they'll bring additional Japanese specialties. We hope you'll enjoy our new concept and looking forward to seeing you soon!
Specialties
Since the opening of the first restaurant over 60 years, Fugetsu has maintained the same quality and standards of Okonomiyaki - becoming one of the iconic and cultural staple food of Osaka, Japan. The closest way to describe Okonomiyaki may be a Japanese incarnation of pizza or savory crepe. Fresh vegetables, meat, fish and/or shellfish are mixed into the batter and poured onto the griddle. Once it is thoroughly cooked, a special sauce - together with mayonnaise - is brushed on top along with a topping of dried bonito flakes to perfect the dish.
