The restaurant Shunsai Hiyori located in the Naramachi district of Nara, holds a high reputation for its quality vegetables. Every bite attests to the incredible freshness of their food. The chef aims to introduce customers to regional produce and flavours in the warm and friendly atmosphere of Hiyori's surroundings.
Various dishes are servied, as part of the kaiseki course menu, a form of traditional Japanese meal consisting of many small dishes. Be sure to save some room for the hearty main course.
Among the foods you may see will be potato varieties of all kinds, romanesco cabbage and burdock root tempura. For dessert, there are many specialties of the region including yoshino kuzu, a preparation made from plant roots.
Though the restaurant is primarily known for its vegetarian dishes the meat dishes served in the restaurant Hiyori are no less delicious. The pieces of Yamagata beef that you can cook at your table are tasty and so tender the will practically melt in your mouth.
