Yoshino, Nara, Japan｜HATSUNE

Yoshino is an extremely popular tourist spot. So it is not easy to get a large group into any of the restaurants. Hatsune however, managed to take our reservations for a large group. We had to prr-order our meal sets though... Not a difficult decision though. The 2 different sets were delightful. Great presentation, great tasting, and reasonably priced. Staff was friendly and accomodating. We had a great view of the valley and the cherry blossoms while we dined. Great experience overall

Such relaxing atmosphere. If you're into having a good meal for all the senses and for the season, this is it.

We had Hatsune Zen (2500 yen) and Seasonal Zen (1900 yen). Perhaps because it was a weekday day in summer, there were few customers and I was able to eat very calmly. The food is delicious and satisfying. The service was also wonderful, such as making tea well. It is a type with a tatami mat floor and a desk, and you can see the fresh green scenery from the window.
