"‘Kotan’ refers to having depth of taste in light foods. Owner-chef Masanori Mizukawa chose the name as one that chimes with the essence of Japanese cuisine. Embodying this idea is the dashi for the soup; its simple, refined flavour comes from kombu and dried tuna. He puts his experience of having worked as a cook at a ryotei to use in the elaborate vegetable takiawase as well. Accenting the menu is the beef hobayaki speciality." - Michelin Inspector

An excellent restaurant hidden in Nara. Take the train, stop 1 station after leaving Nara and you can have a fine dinner to complete your day. It's Google profile doesn't have many reviews, it isn't starred on Trip Advisor and not many websites in english mention the restaurant, but you can be sure that the food is well made and absolutely delicious. You can have (November 2020) 3 different kaiseki courses with reasonable prices (starting at ¥6500). You'll find many different ingredients unique of the Japanese gastronomy, specially regarding seafood. Only the best ingredients are selected and their taste is brought to the fullest. We had a private japanese style room and the waitress wore traditional kimono, which made the experience even more delightful. I only have 2 complaints: Google Maps profile doesn't have a website to check about the restaurant, prices and food and the restaurant is not english friendly (although the staff made a LOT of efforts to explain us and make our experience amazing).

Delicious Kaiseki cuisine in Nara by Owner-chef Masanori Mizukawa. Eight course meal with flavorful seasonal vegetables, fish and meat. Excellent presentation. Staff explained dishes in English. Highly recommended!

ランチコースで。いろいろ食べられて、それぞれ美味しくて楽しかったです。素朴なんだけど、きちんと洗練された和食という雰囲気。 ここに本当にあるのかな、っていう感じのビルの奥に入っていくお店ですが、中は落ち着いた雰囲気。空いていたのか個室を使わせていただけ、くつろげました。

何度か行った事はあったのですが、値上がり等あるのか内容的にも少し残念になっていました。お店の方のふとした時の顔の表情など少し気になりました。
