Japanese
A two-Michelin-star kaiseki restaurant tucked into the old merchant quarter of Naramachi, where the chef folds Buddhist vegetarian traditions and Western technique into a menu that reads like a tour of the Yamato region's history. Time spent cooking abroad sharpened something in his approach that makes the food feel genuinely unlike anywhere else in Nara, old forms handled with enough invention to surprise.
