The atmosphere was not intimidating even for first-timers, and the food, carefully prepared with attention to ingredients, was truly delicious. The ayu fish had no smell and was crispy and easy to eat. The tempura sauce and the sauce for the tempura bowl are both excellent, and the cosmopolitan atmosphere is perfect. This is a great restaurant in Nara and I would like to visit every month to enjoy the flavors of the season with their tempura. I will definitely go back again!
