Enjoy Nara's local sake and local chicken!
I'm going to Naraya's next time. Wanna go?
It's been almost a year since we went to Naraya...
I remember it was delicious and it's been a while since I've been there!
The place is located on the east side of Eiraku-cho street.
Chicken Kappo Naraya
Yakitori and kappo-style dishes using Nara's local sake and Nara's Yamato chicken are available!
The restaurant has only counter seats in a U-shape.
The slightly dimmed lighting creates a relaxed atmosphere.
My friend had already started, so I joined him in the middle of the restaurant.
Did they drink a lot?
Your friend's face is getting red.
First, let's have a toast with plum wine!
I noticed later that we had a glass of champagne...
I wanted to sizzle with bubbles!
Chicken skin boiled and seasoned with soy sauce!
It's full of collagen and has a deliciously smooth texture!
The picture is out of focus... sorry!
Chicken and seasonal vegetables cooked together
Enjoy the beautiful bowl first!
Then, enjoy opening the lid!
Chicken meat (chicken breast and thigh), meatballs, fu, and vegetables
It is covered with starchy soup stock.
It looks like jarbe-ni (stewed vegetables)!
The carrots are very tender and have been simmered for a long time.
The soup stock is very thick and tasty!
It makes me feel relieved.
Yamato Chicken Sashimi!
Sashimi! Sashimi!
I love how moist and tender the chicken breast is!
The thigh has elasticity and the skin is seared to give it a nice aroma +!
I still like it raw!
Mune Udan (sea urchin)
Beautifully arranged!
Sea urchin on the breast!
The sea urchin is so rich!
The ponzu jelly underneath melts in your mouth!
It's amazing! It's so well calculated!
Kaze no Mori Comparison
Of all the sake, Kaze no Mori is the easiest to drink!
So I'm happy when I find it at the store!
Akitsuho Junmai Daiginjo
Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo
Omachi Junmai Ginjo
Mellow, crisp, and little by little, so you can enjoy the changes!
It's perfect for me who can't drink much!
Omachi was the best of the three!
Japanese Duck Tataki
Japanese duck raised in Gosho City, Nara Prefecture!
This is the first time I've heard of it!
When I tried it, I was surprised at its lack of peculiarity!
But it's not so plain either!
Many people prefer tataki to raw because of the added savory flavor.
I like both, though.
Five kinds of appetizers
Everyone else seems to have eaten first, so I'm the only one here with appetizers!
Chilled chawanmushi, tomato syrup, sweet potato in sweetened soy sauce!
I love that there are vegetables as well as chicken!
The arrangement is also beautiful, with ginkgo trees and such!
I picked them up from Midosuji street (lol).
Dashimaki Tamago (rolled egg)
I had this last time and enjoyed it so much!
It was very delicious again!
The richness of the egg and the dashi broth are perfectly balanced!
The texture is also perfect!
Definitely ranks high in the list of dashimaki I've had!
I highly recommend this dish!
Omakase grilled skewers (3 kinds)
The seseri skewers are peppered with a tangy kick!
The Bonjiri has a crispy and juicy skin!
My favorite type!
What was the other one?
I forgot... Sorry!
Oyakodon
It's a delicious oyakodon from a chicken restaurant!
It's a perfect way to finish off the meal!
As expected, we were all full, so we all shared!
The eggs are soft and fluffy!
If an amateur cooks it this way, it doesn't turn out fluffy!
It's delicious, but the broth is just as good!
The chicken and the egg are both delicious, but the broth is the best for me!
I was able to enjoy it without hesitation!
Homemade pudding
The top is seared to a crisp!
I love the moment when it cracks open!
The consistency is right in the middle of smooth and hard!
It's so rustic, I love it!
It's been a while since I've been here, but the menu has changed a bit.
The menu has changed a bit, and you can feel the attention to detail.
And every single dish is beautiful!
I'm glad that I can't enjoy these things at home!
Some of them look quite expensive...
I was also happy to see that they remembered me from the last time I visited.
I was so happy!
I was so ungrateful to come here after a year...
You can eat chicken shabu-shabu or duck shabu-shabu, right?
I'd like to try that one next time!
Thanks for the food!
I invited my parents to dinner for a luxurious dinner once in a while. We were shown to a private tatami room so we could enjoy our meal while relaxing and talking. The course meals were all elegant and delicious. The Matsuba crab, in particular, was broken up into pieces so that it was easy to eat and I could feel the deliciousness of the crab even more. The rich crabmeat and roe were also beautifully presented.
