It's a popular restaurant, so make a reservation about two weeks in advance to visit.
Course of 15 skewers, rice and dessert 4,500 yen
The skewers that have been made with a little effort will tell you what is delicious to eat each time.
Each piece is small, but eating 15 skewers will fill you up.
Finish with Ochazuke. I was really curious about how Korean-style Ochazuke seemed to be popular, but I was too full...
I wanted something refreshing, so I chose celery and chili menjako in ochazuke.
I can't wait to see what comes out, it's delicious.
It was a very satisfying night in Nara.

Is the menu basically 11 or 16 items? of
If the course is not enough, you can add more.
I think the price is reasonable considering the content.
He recommends recommended seasonings every time a bottle comes out, but it's nice and not too pushy.
The dashi chazuke at the end was also excellent.
