The concept is ‘together with nature’. The chef takes inspiration from ingredients he sources from producers with whom he has strong relationships. Vegetables, river fish, meat, tea; all cultivated in the natural beauty of Nara. The breath of each season and the chef’s passion find clear expression in the prix fixe offerings. Menus list ingredients only. The chef loves to share the features of each terroir, the personalities of the food producers, and anecdotes about cooking.

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.

Falling in love with the cultural landscapes of Nara, the chef opened his restaurant in Naramachi, where he weaves the history and customs of the Yamato region into his menu like a story. The source of his originality lies in the imaginative and creative skills he cultivated overseas. When combined with the skills he honed along the way, the result is a cuisine of refreshing novelty. Ingredients from Buddhist vegetarian dishes and Western cuisine are incorporated, telling the tale of his gastronomic journey.

Wa Yamamura

The restaurant’s name combines the owner-chef’s surname with ‘wa’ (harmony), expressing both his reverence for Japanese cuisine and his wish for guests to relax over the meal. His culinary techniques and spirit of hospitality were honed in a ryotei. Flowers are personally arranged and seasonal tableware selected to welcome guests. The cuisine is kaiseki, visually refined. Sashimi is presented in a bowl of ice, while the hassun is variously arranged with cherry blossoms in spring or seasonal leaves in autumn, evoking the changing seasons.

The history and culture of Nara, told through the local cuisine. The chef makes a special effort to showcase the ingredients of Gojo, the city of his birth.

Great care goes into preparations, while the menu reflects traditional annual events, presented with genuine hospitality. The chef faithfully carries on the techniques he learned at Osaka‘s Masuda.

Hassun is arranged on platters, expressing the beauty of Japanese cuisine.
