Restaurant Spots in Nara Area

  • Awa (Nara-machi)
    Gourmet / Alcohol
    Nara Pref. Narashi Shounamichou 1
    A restaurant and hideaway located in the Naramachi (Town of Nara) area, renowned for its charming old-fashioned townscape, a 15 minute walk from Kintetsu Nara Station. Situated inside a townhome over 140 years old, the restaurant is divided into multiple rooms, including one with a view of the inner garden, a traditional kura warehouse section, and a tatami room on the second floor. Awa serves dishes which gives diners the chance to enjoy the food culture of Nara, including home-grown Yamato vegetables, Yamato beef, and local Yamato sake. Its lunches consisting of numerous small dishes piled high on a basket are so beautiful they look like works of art. Visitors also love the fact that Awa’s dishes are not restricted to the traditional boundaries of Japanese cuisine, such as the restaurant’s rib roast steak served grilled on a porcelain plate. Advance reservation required.

    I have tried a few dishes but come back to the crispy noodles with vegetables. I am a vegetarian and they can make most dishes without fish, beef, pork or chicken. I also like the vegetable ramen but...

    Nara Nara-shi Jingu 4-6-6

    住宅地に建つレストラン。自然栽培の野菜、天然工房のパン。とても丁寧に調理されたお食事はおいしさはもちろん、とても幸せなひと時も提供してくれる素敵なレストランです。1300円ほどのランチに飲み物を付けると1700円ほどになって、値が張りますが、その価値はあります。隣は天然酵母パンを売るベーカリーです。こちらもおすすめです。

    Nara Nara-shi Shimomikadocho 38 Mikado Building 1F

    奈良駅前の商店街の果てに位置する地元の常連客で賑わうバー。 今回は飲みが目的でなく、奈良のかき氷が目的でした。 焼き氷というメニューがあり、作るパフォーマンス、見た目も味もなかなかでした。 酔い覚ましメニューとしてもいいのでは???

    ここのステーキは間違いないです。若い頃はロースでしたが、最近はフィレが美味しく思います。有頭エビも美味しいし、お味噌汁も美味しいです。シンプルコースがおすすめです。

    美味しいです。良く友人を誘って出かけます。新年会もこちらでお世話になりました。ほとんどお任せで予算のみお伝えします。誘う友人によっては、ワインの持ち込みをします。よく相談に乗ってくれますし、わがままも聞いてくれます。

Nara Areas

around-area-map

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.
