予約なしで訪問しました。コースになりますが、とのことでした。話しやすい対応で、帰り際にはご夫婦で外まで見送っていただきました。「土の料理人」とのことで、自身が無農薬、有機栽培で育てた野菜を提供しており、父親が作った器で料理を提供しているとのことでした。特に野菜の美味しさがとびぬけています。シンプルな生野菜なのに、とても美味しくて体に良さそう感がたっぷり。〆に釜めし。コスパ高いです。
Nara Areas
With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
