Great place and delicious food. Michelin worthy. Also has outside seating with a view of the lake. Big minus is that they allow dogs on the outside area, that is just not acceptable for a restaurant

The parking lot is right in front. I'll give you a piece of paper that looks like a parking permit. The first person will explain the vegetables that will be used today! !
All the food was delicious ♡ It's hard to tell from the image, but some of the food was very small... It looked beautiful and tasted good too ♪
It took about 3 hours from entering the store to finishing the last petit fours and drinks...
I ordered it as an anniversary, but it arrived as a born anniversary (not a birthday celebration💦), so I remembered someone's review...

We made a reservation for lunch in advance and visited. Although we do not provide an English menu, the staff did their best to explain the ingredients using a translator. From amuse-bouche to desserts, we use Nara's local specialties to provide special dishes that are hard to find in other restaurants. When I visited, scallops, cod dishes, and wagyu were served, and desserts made with fruits such as kiwi and apples were served. The food was very satisfying and the staff were friendly, so I would like to visit again.

There is no doubt that this restaurant lives up to its reputation. The chef takes your preferences into account and even the starters are adapted to your taste if you take the chef's menu. A nice selection of suitable wines can be recommended, and even these will suit your preferences. I particularly enjoyed the fish dishes, it was really very nice. The staff was knowledgeable and tried to accommodate our every need, even without us asking.

I visited twice.
This was my first time using what is considered a high-end restaurant.
I discovered how each ingredient was used in each dish, and the pairings were also wonderful.
I can feel the staff's love for the store, and I think it's a store I'd like to visit.
