"‘Gokan’ means ‘five senses’, and the menu engages all five. You’ll notice the energy and passion in the kitchen as items are patiently grilled over charcoal and rice is cooked in a wood-fuelled stove. Look closely – there’s remarkable creativity concealed in the cuisine. For example, sashimi of amberjack is garnished with grated daikon radish and thick starchy sauce of bonito soup stock, an idea inspired directly by ‘buri-daikon’, which is amberjack and daikon radish simmered in soy sauce. Meals wrap up with rice, lovingly served in homemade bowls; each dish has a tale to tell. Tuck in with all five senses." - Michelin Inspector

Our hotel made a reservation at this place after asking for a recommendation. So, we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived and saw it was a Michelin rated location. But, the star is well deserved. The service and hospitality were excellent. The chef cares deeply about the presentation, and explained each dish (with a handheld translator). The 500-cut squid was out of this world. The ambiance was nice and calm. It was only us and another group of two, so it really felt like a private experience. If we come back to Nara, we'll definitely visit again.

Do not go. Been to 20 Michelin restaurant and this is the one that makes me doubt the standards of Michelin. the portion is laughable, the fish accompanying the rice is the size of a dice. It would be a huge waste of time and money. All the fish have very limited flavor. Avoid at all cost

Fantastic dinner and atmosphere. The “new” rice signature dish was superb, as was the tuna with radish and the mushroom soup. Despite the language barrier friendly and enthusiastic team. Highly recommend. Walking distance from JW Marriott.

Outstanding haute cuisine - certainly one of our absolute favourite meals in Japan! It was delightful to watch the preparation of dishes and the attention to detail. The team was very welcoming and extended a very warm & hospitable service.

佐保川沿いにあるマンションの一角にある和食レストラン。ミシュラン店です。 入るとカウンター席とテーブル席があります。テーブル席は貸し切れば最大10名いけそう。 仕事関係で何回か利用していますが、毎回美味しく嫌いな食材でも抵抗なく食べれます。その日の仕入れ食材に合わせ違うメニューが出てきます。一品一品丁寧に説明していただき、いつも大満足です。しかし食べるのに夢中になって、メニュー名を思い出すのを忘れてしまうのが悩みです笑 この日はお酒を頼み過ぎたため、かなり値段がいきましたが、料理は22,000円税込の1コースのみ、おまかせになります。
