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 renovated our soy brewery to revitalise local industry. A local farmer grows soybeans and wheat in an eco-friendly way. Around 70% of soy lees get thrown out, but we produce zero waste. We do not use agricultural chemicals or chemical fertilisers in our home garden. For fertiliser, we use compost things like vegetable waste and rice bran."
