From my point of view  🙂

“Minatoan” is the well-known soba restaurant around Yokohama area.  The idea of the “FUJI-SAN MORI” was from the founder.  He dreamed that he would be happy to eat Soba in a big volume like Mt.Fuji.  So it is the kind of his courtesy to provide “FUJI-SAN MORI” to customers without additional charges (at the full-service restaurants.)  I saw some people had no idea how big the “FUJI-SAN MORI” was so gave up eating all, which is against the good manner in Japan because Japanese people really mind about the food loss.  So, please order if you are sure that you can eat them all.

Thank you for reading my report  🙂
