This was my first visit to the restaurant, which has been selected for the Tabelog Award BRONZE 2026.Located right next to Nara Park, it offers a fantastic view of the greenery through its spacious windows.The course menu is not overly adventurous, and the unusual combinations of ingredients make sense once you taste them, resulting in a well-balanced overall experience.Here are my notes on each dish:- Sea Bream with Soy Sauce, Chicken Liver, and Strawberry Sorbet: At first glance, the combination seemed odd, but the flavors were exquisite.- Yamato Greens Salad, Olive resembling Soil, and Dill: A delightful crunchy texture.- Yamato Pork Ham and Grilled Eggplant: The ham was lightly smoked, retaining moisture and tenderness. When paired with the vinegar sheet and grilled eggplant, the sheet gradually dissolved, enveloping the eggplant in a tangy flavor.- Firefly Squid with Arugula Sauce and Whole Wheat Noodles: The bitterness of the arugula combined perfectly with the umami and slight fishiness of the firefly squid. The whole wheat noodles also had a fragrant aroma that complemented the arugula.- The duck was moist and tender, with a light smoky aroma. The fat was rich and delicious, but the red meat had a hint of bloodiness that made it particularly enjoyable.
