Omotsubo

Set in a charming space renovated from a 100-year-old townhouse in Nara, this creative Japanese restaurant is run solely by the owner. Dishes are served in a seasonal omakase style, centered around a rich broth made from vegetables and seaweed. The interior, adorned with handmade pottery, vintage records, and guitars, offers a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of being invited to a grandparent's home, and it's so friendly that even guests with dogs are welcomed. The closing magic trick is also a highlight, leaving a warm aftertaste along with the meal.
