Nara, Japan｜しゃぶ亭脇阪

This was one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. The restaurant owner was very kind and made us feel very comfortable and welcoming immediately, even with the language barrier. She definitely made the experience amazing. The food was also amazing with the meat literally being as soft as butter. And the highlight being the ponzu sauce!!! Definitely recommended.

Very minimal English but lovely old lady making the food and serving. The food very tasty . Very hidden little gem next to where you rent kimonos but to the left ground floor.

It's a little pricey, but the food is great (especially the meat and sauce). I think the main highlight is the staff though. We were served by the sweetest grandma. She was so cute and made us so happy to be there.
