A luxurious restaurant with Chinese furnishings in a purely Japanese setting with architecture in the style of an austere tea-ceremony arbor.

With spacious private rooms laid out with either tables or hori-gotatsu style (with floor cushions around a low table and an opening underneath for feet), spend an elegant sojourn here as you look out over the Japanese garden. This is a top-class setting perfect for receptions, important anniversaries and various other gatherings. The concept is “delight in the seasons through Chinese cuisine.”Savor the flavors of Nara’s representative Yamato vegetables and the Yamato brand of produce featured in these Chinese dishes, and experience the seasonal tastes that are reminiscent of Japan’s food culture.

These types of dishes are relatively rare in Chinese cuisine, which is made with mostly standard ingredients. Different oils are used according to the dish, which is another way of preparing healthy food. These Chinese dishes will delight and excite you for the entire dining experience.

In this dignified and serene traditional environment, you’ll feel like you’re taking a trip back into Japan’s past. The restaurant’s various seating options include private table rooms and hori-gotatsu style rooms (with floor cushions around a low table and an opening underneath for feet) inspired by tea houses and perfect for ceremonial gatherings, as well as table seats offering the chance to enjoy a relaxing lunch in a spacious environment. With seasonal course meals and individual dishes using local produce, why not try some local Nara sake? Here you can sample not only local rice wine, but also “Hajimari no Seishu” and “Bodai-moto Seishu,” which replicate the brewing methods used in Japan’s late medieval period.
