MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine
This Japanese restaurant is located in Nara’s oldest soy brewery. The head chef works together with the 18th generation owner and prepares a menu focused on soy sauce and vegetables. Soy sauce is used with everything from the appetisers to the sweets, such as the Miwa somen with soy sauce espuma and takikomi-gohan with unrefined soy powder. The theme is modern Japanese, and some of the dishes draw inspiration from Chinese and French cuisine.
Gastronomy & Sustainability
MICHELIN Green Star
"We grow our vegetables organically in a nearby field, and 90% of the produce we use is home-grown. We keep seeds for continued planting and use vegetable waste to make compost. A local farmer grows soybeans and wheat, which we use to make our soy sauce, in an eco-friendly environment. Normally around 70% of soy lees get thrown out, but we produce zero waste."
