Matsuki
Japanese
A kaiseki restaurant in Nara where the kitchen runs on a motto that translates, roughly, as "dainty comes from cordiality," which sets the tone for everything that follows. The chef sources Yamato vegetables from farms close enough to matter, and the seasonal hassun platters layer classical Japanese technique with quieter, newer ideas. It holds a Michelin star, and the cooking has the unhurried sincerity of someone who genuinely believes the produce deserves the attention.
