-
An Italian restaurant in Nara where the chef blends different water sources, adjusting hardness and pH to suit each ingredient, which is the kind of detail that sounds like a joke until you taste the vegetable soup, made with nothing but water and salt and somehow full of flavor. The chef grew his own vegetables and studied water quality as an agriculture student, and the cooking follows that same patient logic, finding what each ingredient wants rather than imposing a style on it.
