Is it a reservation system only for courses?
It was delicious, but it was also a feast for the eyes.

wonderful.
I went there alone when my predecessor was there.
I'm the only customer.
I think stores like this are underrated.
Especially for celebrities, madams, and people who like shiny branded items.
I think they can only see the surface, so they don't understand the true deliciousness of it.
The restaurant has an atmosphere like a pub, and the dishes are all brown and there are no shiny items.
It's a shop that sells wildflowers rather than roses.
However, that's why you can feel the essential deliciousness.
In fact, glittery fakes shouldn't come. Because I don't know anyway.
I think it would be good if there were more stores like this in rural areas, instead of building stores like those in cities in rural areas.
I heard that the second generation is currently in operation, so I would like to visit it sometime.
It is a treasure of Nara.

This is a Japanese restaurant run by the owner, who grows the vegetables he uses in his cooking and calls himself a ``soil chef.'' The inside of the restaurant is a little dated and has the impression of being somewhere between an izakaya and a small restaurant. All the dishes were at a consistent level and delicious. The presentation is beautiful, and the vegetables we are proud of are delicious. But it's a pity that I wasn't able to come across such a big surprise... Also, I think it's because each item is made with care, but the food is slow to come out. I wonder if the cost performance is good. Considering the quality of the materials and the carefulness of the work, I can understand even if it costs a little more. That's conscientious.
