Nara, Japan｜Kanakana

Great food in a small restaurant with a lot of local customers. We tried Kanakana set course and curry rice. Both of them are delicious with traditional Japanese style. Super recommended to try your lunch here.

Got recommended to this place by my friend's fiancé who is a Nara native. The rice set was delicious and wholesome. The coolest part about this meal was that the drink came after the meal. That is the intention and you are meant to sit and relax with your drink after the meal. The iced tea that I got was refreshing but wish I had gotten something sweeter. Would definitely come again at a more odd time so the wait wouldn't be too long.

A very cosy and lovely traditional Japanese restaurant with tatami mats. I ordered the set meal and it was some of the tastiest pork I've ever eaten. They have an English menu too which is very helpful. I showed up at 11.10 am which is just after opening and I didn't have to wait for a table. I suggest you go around then, because it's a very popular restaurant. The price is very good too. If you are visiting Nara Park, you should visit.
