Harishin: Tradtional Set-Menu
tigerjapan profile photo

4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

tigerjapan 538 reviews

This restaurant only serves a mini-kaiseki meal and a set-menu, both of which change with the season. Our set-menu included light tofu flavored with sesame, soup, rice, pickled vegetables, tempura, and various bite-size morsels of shrimp, chicken, potatoes wrapped in bacon and scallops. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented.
The restaurant is in a lovely part of town near Gangoji Temple. The whole area is well-worth a visit -little narrow lanes and traditional wooden houses and shops line the streets. The actual restaurant is a 200-year-old house with lovely ochre-coloured walls and tatami mat dining area with a view of the traditional Japanese garden.

Bento

A2002 742 reviews

We got a Bento from a "supermarket" along the street across the JR station on our circular walking tour around the city. There are many choices of restaurant and take-away food along the rows of shops.

"Bento" is a Japanese lunch box packed with a portion of rice with other small portion of "dishes" such as unagi (yummy grilled fish), pickled vegetables, toufu, etc.

Croquette omlette on rice

Located in the Nara open air mall. You see the display case outside and need to go down a few stairs into the restaurant.

Prices are very reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area.

Favorite Dish: Some items were unique. It is best to check out the dispay outside before ordering so you have an idea of what you are getting.
