I had my wife's birthday party here. Mago ate with great excitement at the many dishes. There were a lot of different items and I was very satisfied.

I used the restaurant.The atmosphere of the store is good. Customer service is also good. But the most important thing is the taste.The locally produced meat that they use as their main ingredient is said to be extremely rare, but to put it another way, there is no demand for it, and in fact, it doesn't even come close to the taste of many branded beef. Nara is surrounded by delicious local meats such as Matsuzaka beef, Omi beef, and Kobe beef. It will be difficult to repeat if this is the main item. I appreciate your commitment, but...It was a shame because the side dishes were very tasty.

I received a painting experience and a Shokado bento box as a thank you gift for my hometown tax. The meal was delicious, but the decorated cup that arrived today is leaking water from the inside where it was attached. Big shock😣

I think it would be a problem if I couldn't make a reservation.Even though I made a reservation a month in advance,Two weeks later, a group reservation was made, so without contacting me, I was given priority and decided not to make a reservation.I was planning to use it for a memorial service, so I went to check it out and even gave them my phone number and address, but I couldn't believe it lol I was surprised lolThis is the worst type of management that runs towards profit without prioritizing anything.I live right next door, so I spread the word that the customer service is the worst. I will never go there again.

I visited for our anniversary dinner.From the moment they walked through the gate, they were attentive to their customers, and when they walked through the store's door, the inner door opened to welcome them.I had reserved a private room, and the view of the garden from the guest room was amazing.The food was made using carefully selected ingredients, and each dish brought out the flavor of the ingredients and was truly delicious.The drinks were carefully selected and went well with the food, so I was able to relax and enjoy the food and drinks.It was so good that I would definitely go for lunch next time.

Enjoy a wonderful space and delicious food. This is the former residence of a potter, and the garden, buildings, and dishes used for cooking are all wonderful. I received a course for ¥14,000. For menu details, please take a look at the photo of the menu table.Overall it was delicious and the quantity was sufficient.It's a matter of personal preference, but the soup was a little salty, and the stewed beef cheeks had a seasoning that I didn't like.However, the other dishes were delicious and I was satisfied!

I decided to make a reservation after watching an NHK program.It may be hard to get a reservation as it has been aired on TV all over the place. I thought so, but to my surprise, it turned out to be a good success.Since I arrived a little early, I visited the nearby Gokurakuji Temple.When I returned, I was greeted politely.Once we were seated at a seat overlooking the Japanese garden, we ordered drinks and then the meals we had ordered were served one after another.Of course, the wait staff were polite and explained the ingredients.Of course the taste is a passing grade.The last dessert, zenzai, was also delicious.Pumpkin mochi included in addition to mochi. It was my first time eating it, and it was chewy and delicious.Please taste it once.At the end, he greeted me at the gate.It's a spirit of hospitality.

I visited him on his birthday.It's an old mansion (I guess it's a little different from an old folk house, right?) so there are a lot of steps, but each time I went I was greeted by someone who guided me to a private room without tripping over me, and we had a kaiseki meal starting at 7pm.The food was served individually to the two of us, and each dish showed great care and preparation, and each dish was so delicious that I almost ate it on my tongue.We also had a peaceful and warm time in the calm atmosphere while looking out at the illuminated garden from our private room.I think I'd like to visit you for lunch next time.

I used it for lunch.This is the birthplace of Kenkichi Tomimoto, a famous Japanese potter, which has been renovated and is now open as an inn and restaurant.We use local Nara ingredients for our dishes, and you can enjoy dishes that are seasonally inspired.They are very particular about the beef they use, and they use beef from Uda, which is extremely rare among Yamato beef from local Nara, and it was very delicious.In addition, in terms of service, the visit on the day was for a family dinner, and my young nephew was also with me, and they were very considerate, such as preparing lunch plates for the children.I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

This restaurant/hotel is located in the town of Ando, ​​next to Horyuji Temple in Nara Prefecture, and is located in the renovated birthplace of Kenkichi Tomimoto, the first Living National Treasure. By appointment only.The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, ``Gofujuuu.'' The taste is based on reviews from connoisseurs.The hotel has two rooms, one of which is Kenkichi Tomimoto's study.
