I visited Kyoto Miyazu for a business trip and made a reservation to dine here. By chance, the restaurant was privately reserved, allowing me to enjoy a meal in a calm atmosphere while chatting with the owner. Every dish was delicate, and the very first rice served was slightly al dente and absolutely delicious.It was a great meal.

This unique restaurant skillfully prepares local fish over a wood fire, offering delightful dishes featuring sauces made from wild vegetables and herbs. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. I thoroughly enjoyed the clams and the jelly-like dish. The final rice dish also had its own special touch.

The dishes created by a chef from Wakuden were truly exceptional. The initial serving of white rice was cooked over a strong fire using firewood, resulting in a slightly firm texture. With each bite, the freshly cooked flavor spread throughout my mouth. I continued to savor dishes that made full use of the seafood from Kyotango. The broth was lightly seasoned in a good way, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through. Just when I thought it was all about seafood, the grilled... More

The dishes created by a chef from Wakuden were truly exceptional. The initial serving of white rice was cooked over a strong fire using firewood, resulting in a slightly firm texture. With each bite, the freshly cooked flavor spread throughout my mouth. I continued to savor dishes that made full use of the seafood from Kyotango. The broth was lightly seasoned in a good way, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through. Just when I thought it was all about seafood, the grilled boar skewers and ham provided a delightful contrast that enhanced the subsequent dishes. From grilled clams to jelly-topped tiger pufferfish and grilled stone bream, I enjoyed every bite without getting bored, right up to the final shrimp in sauce. Personally, I felt this restaurant rivals the renowned Italian place, Diavolo, which operates in Osaka's Kizu Market and is now thriving in Tokyo. Although it’s located in a somewhat inconvenient area, anyone interested in Japanese cuisine should definitely visit this place at least once. You rarely find such quality at this price point. I will definitely return! Less

The course starting with rice cooked over a wood fire was absolutely exquisite.Each dish maximized the flavors of the ingredients, and they presented unique and refined plates made with ingredients they personally foraged from the mountains.In Kyotango City, known for its rich seafood and mountain produce, I believe there is no other restaurant that showcases the best of both worlds quite like this one.I look forward to visiting again.

Nawaya, part 2

A few hours on a charming old train north from Kyoto, tucked away in a tiny town in Kyotango, is a wonderful restaurant. A small group of friends had the place to ourselves for the evening, and chef presented what can only be described as a feast. Incredibly fresh and tasty local ingredients, warm hospitality, in a beautiful space. Highly recommended. Thank you @nawaya_tango!
