Why we point you here
Michelin-charted Japanese cooking in Nara, worth the detour from Kyoto's busier dining scene.
Nara doesn't always get the restaurant attention it deserves, which makes this one Michelin star spot feel even more worth the detour. The kind of Japanese cooking that earns quiet recognition, and a reason to roam beyond the temples and build a proper evening around dinner.
