Mt. Fuji Japanese Steakhouse, is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the opening of Y’s Lounge.
Perched high on a 40-acre private mountain in Rockland County, NY, the new lounge is an elegant and comfortable space adjacent to the main restaurant with views of the Ramapo Valley. Owner Yoshimasa Tadato has designed this lounge for guests who want to enjoy specialty cocktails and Japanese fusion dishes.
At the helm of the cuisine is Executive Chef Yoshio Shinohara, a graduate of the renowned International Koen Culinary Institute, and formerly with the celebrated restyaurant Megu in NY and Hotel Okura in Japan. He has created a modern menu that features artistically presented dishes using the finest Japanese imported ingredients.
Start your evening with a refreshing Yuzu Mint Cocktail, a Japanese style mojito made with Yamayuzu infused Sake, St. Germain elderflower, fresh mint and lime juice.
Also order the signature Grilled Unagi and Guacamole, a serving of three melt-in-your-mouth bites of grilled eel on top of a dollop of guacamole and baked Mentaiko spicy mayonnaise.
Another signature dish is the savory, beer battered crispy shrimp with a tangy chilly cream sauce.
If you like meat, do not miss the succulent Japanese skirt steak, presented on a slab of hot lava stone (from Japan’s Mount Fuji) and drizzled with a Remy Martin cognac.
The menu also features asparagus, truffle fries, salmon carpacio, burrata, seasonal pasta and Japanese desserts.
Y’s Lounge is also available for private events and parties for up to 100 people. It is located at 296 Old Route 17, Hillburn, New York. For more information visit www.mtfujirestaurants.com or call 845.357.4270
