Italian
An Italian restaurant in rural Nara where the menu is built around a premise: that Piemonte and the Yamato highlands have more to say to each other than you'd expect. The chef trained in northern Italy and now hand-rolls tajarin and agnolotti alongside dishes like venison senbei, a wink at the deer that wander the park nearby. One Michelin star. The name means "bind," which does a lot of quiet work on the plate.

“Sushi of uncured ham and persimmon leaf, venison senbei—a dish resembling Nara’s famous deer crackers—and other unique items overlay one tradition onto another.”

Tajarin
“The chef honed his skills in Italy’s Piemonte region, which is why he devotes himself to making hand-rolled pastas such as tajarin and agnolotti in autumn and winter.”
