Chef’s Selection

Cozy restaurant near Nara station and park. They offer a lunch set menu: - starters: mix of pickled veggies, salad with homemade dressing, a veggie fried roll, green beans and a sort of fermented "cheese" made from fermented sake byproduct (unfortunately I cannot remember the name) - mains: rice, miso soup (probably the tastiest I've ever had), shredded tofu and veggies, steamed soy meat, assorted vegetables and a dumpling - dessert: matcha ice cream Overall a great meal, healthy and tasty, and you can really feel that everything was prepared and presented with care. Portion sizes are perhaps on the smaller size, but perfectly fine for a stop during a day trip.

#2500th review🍾 I took a day trip from Kyoto to Nara to see its famous wild deer park and it was just as magical as I imagined!! I also found this little cute vegan restaurant run by two sweet sisters. The only option for lunch is this chef’s selection of dishes, and it was many! My favourite were the little plate of curry meat (first pic) and the sweet and sour meat (also first pic), as well as their homemade edamame tofu (second pic) and of course the matcha 💚 It was 3300¥ and worth it! #japanese #japan #vegantravel #tofu #matcha #vegantraveller
