Chef’s Selection at Naramachi Vegan Nabi ならまちヴィーガン 菜美 — fredpls's Review (May 13, 2025)

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.
