Currently on a business trip in Kyoto!I visited akordu in Kintetsu Nara.Ranked 1st in the Tabelog category for Nara Prefecture,2nd for Spanish cuisine nationwide,29th for innovative cuisine nationwide.Nara persimmon leaf lemongrass herbal tea,Pea frangipane with hojicha dashi,Yamato olive herb (forgot to take a photo),Chicken Nara Yamato meat with herb jelly and young corn - exquisite,Sea bream with soy vinegar, green onion, Yamato chicken offal, and truffle green onion - exquisite,Yamato pork terrine with escalivada grilled eggplant,Miya somen whole wheat with arugula sauce and firefly squid - exquisite,Bonito tempura with large iron bean tofu romesco - exquisite,Yamato beef smoked with snap peas - exquisite,Obihiro queso with Kurohimenes chaff shavings,Tiramisu with coffee, chartreuse, and Yamato green lime - exquisite,Kotokas low-temperature extract rose gelato with spiced dough and anise - exquisite,Bitter chocolate ganache chocolate macarons.This is incredibly beautiful innovative cuisine!Many ingredients are local Japanese foods, and the subtly bitter flavors are delightful!!!I was a bit apprehensive about the pairing of sea bream and Yamato chicken offal, but surprisingly, they matched quite well!!However, I felt that all the dishes were a bit too light! I would have preferred a few more punchy dishes that pair well with alcohol!Nonetheless, both the presentation and taste were beautiful, making it a wonderful restaurant that fits the atmosphere of the ancient city of Nara!!!Ranked 1st in the Tabelog category for Nara Prefecture / 30th overall,25th for innovative cuisine nationwide / 30th overall,15th for Spanish cuisine nationwide / 30th overall.This is my first review of a restaurant in Nara Prefecture (I remember having famous meals when I traveled here a long time ago)!!!
