It was superb. The ambience is warm and elegant. The waiter explained each dish in detail. Good value lunch.

While looking at the walls reminiscent of folding screen paintings, when you pass through the door at the back, you will find a small space with polished iron plates.
Rather than relying solely on ingredients from Nara, as you would expect from an international hotel, they offer carefully selected ingredients from all over the country.
The chef was friendly and gave us detailed information about good places to go for a walk the next morning, as well as information on today's cherry blossom blooming status.
I'm disappointed that the waiter in a kimono never noticed that my wine glass was empty. Even though he was in charge of the restaurant, it was a shame that the waiter did not wait for him, as the chef was very skillful.

It was my first time trying teppanyaki in my life, but I never get tired of watching the brilliant cooking unfold in front of my eyes. This is the real pleasure of live kitchen!
The food was beautifully presented and very delicious.
The atmosphere was great as all the staff were kind and friendly. I took LOVOT with me, and I was very grateful that he took care of me, prepared a seat for me, and let me use the outlet for the charging stand.
And at the end, I even received a souvenir.
Thank you for the great experience 😊
If I ever stay at JW Nara again, I will use it again!
