‘Kuko’ is the goji berry, reputed to be a natural drug granting longevity and perpetual youth. A devotee of traditional Chinese medicinal cuisine, the chef follows the principles ‘You are what you eat’ and ‘Healthy food can help prevent and support recovery from illness’. Thus guided, he takes up Nara ingredients to prepare dishes that minister tenderly to the body’s needs. Prix fixe meals revolve around both Nara and Chinese vegetables, all grown in the restaurant’s own garden. Dishes arranged on Jingdezhen porcelain are a gorgeous sight.

NARA NIKON

Japanese · ★★ Michelin

¥¥¥

‘Nikon’, meaning ‘live to the full in this moment’, was the principle advocated by Zen master Dogen Zenji (1200–1253). Every day in his kitchen the chef displays the sincere devotion to Japanese cuisine he has had ever since he began at the bottom of the ladder. He focuses above all on the right timing for handling his ingredients: when to prep, when to slice, and so on. Serving at just the right temperature is vital as well. This craftsman’s spirit of applying every ounce of effort in the present moment is reflected in the name of the restaurant.

The detached house looks at home amid the venerable townscape of old Nara. Enter the traditional wooden townhouse, however, and a modern atrium greets you, juxtaposing old with new. Offering ‘cuisine that reflects the milieu of Nara and the four seasons’, the owner-chef shines a spotlight on local ingredients, arranging them according to the flavours of the season. Wagyu from Uda is char-grilled; spring is celebrated with Japanese pepper flower, and autumn with matsutake mushrooms. Antique dishware brings out the beauty of simple presentations.
