Dining

Kaiseki Morimoto

Restaurant Michelin¥¥¥451 m

The interior of the old traditional house is refurbished, yet the Showa-era ambience is unmistakable. The chef cooks alone, dedicated to his credo of serving everything straight from the kitchen to the table. What impresses most are the vegetables. Each plate features leaf and root vegetables grown under the personal care of the chef’s father, a landscape architect. The chef uses restrained seasoning to bring out the flavours of the ingredients. Takikomi-gohan made with vegetables picked that morning is served with house-made pickles. Simple, honest cooking, done as only Morimoto can.

Sushi Kawashima

Restaurant Michelin¥¥¥2.7 km

Sushi Kawashima pursues its own way in the sushi world, a route that crosses paths with the food culture of Nara. Sashimi is dressed with hishio, a koji-mould and salt-water mixture said to be the origin of soy sauce. Snacks are served with preserved so, a condensed-milk product enjoyed in ancient Japan. Yamato tachibana pepper is a seasoning made from an ancient citrus fruit. Sushi of gizzard shad with persimmon leaf testifies to the chef’s lively imagination. Nigirizushi is formed without wasabi, to bring out the flavours of the topping and sushi rice. Persimmon-leaf tea is a relaxing treat

Tori Yamaguchi

RestaurantBib Gourmand¥¥2.7 km

The chef fell in love with the delicious taste and texture of locally raised Nara chicken and pours his heart and soul into its preparation. To ensure his guests experience the full spectrum of flavours, his skewers feature a wide range of cuts, from the familiar to the rare. Seasoning is carefully chosen: salt or dipping sauce for some, sake or chicken fat for others. Chicken tenderloin, for example, is ingeniously showered with Yamato tachibana pepper, a condiment made from an ancient citrus fruit. Items served to wrap up the meal are prepared with the same attention to detail: yakitori on r

Da terra

Restaurant Michelin¥¥¥4.2 km

A peaceful, traditional rural house surrounded by farmland is home to this restaurant. The shop is an advertisement for the good earth of Asuka, ‘the place where Japan began’, and its bounty. Main ingredients consist of produce cultivated by the chef’s family. One item, a brightly colourful salad, is named “Daichi Kara”, “From the Land”. Wheat is turned into pasta, rice into risotto. Set menus are a journey through the seasons, calculated to inspire gratitude to nature as one proceeds through the meal.

Pinot Noir

Restaurant¥¥¥809 m

The restaurant is in Imaicho, an area lined with historic buildings. The chef and his daughter work side by side in both the kitchen and dining room. The menu centres on local ingredients as a way to spread the appeal of Nara. Vegetables are selected by hand at local farmstands to get a feel for what’s in season. The meat, including jidori chicken and wagyu beef, also comes from Yamato, the historic name for Nara. Pinot noir is a grape variety grown in Burgundy, and the restaurant offers a range of Burgundies collected over the years that are now at their ideal drinking age.

Nikutoieba Matsuda

Restaurant¥¥885 m

The owner-chef, a butcher, prepares wagyu. The set menu meal begins with a bold, hearty meat dish. He uses mostly Yamato beef for his customers to get a feel for Nara ingredients. His creative touches include slicing it thin and pressing it between sheets of kombu and making minced meat into gyoza dumpling. Even the last dish features wagyu, and includes chopped beef and curry. Creative dishes and attractive presentations make this a popular spot.

Ajinokaze Nishimura

Restaurant Michelin¥¥¥4.4 km

Hearty deliciousness is the order of the day here. Simple arrangements convey the sincerity of the chef’s commitment to his craft. Hinohikari rice from Nara Prefecture is cooked in clay pots and seasoned with chirimen sansho (small fish cooked with peppers). The meal concludes with handmade confections served with matcha, to send you on your way feeling relaxed and calm. This Japanese cuisine is woven together with ingredients and crockery from Sakurai. The ‘aji no kaze’ or ‘winds of flavour’ blow gently amid the beauty of nature.

Tama

Restaurant¥¥¥1.1 km

This restaurant brings a little Edo era charm to the town of Imai. The interior of an old townhouse has been renovated and features both the nostalgia of old materials and a modern touch. Chef Reiichiro Nambu seeks to convey the flavours of the ingredients in a natural way. He exercises restraint with the seasoning and oil to prepare light dishes and puts much effort into a single set menu that brings out the very best of the ingredients.
