Nara, Japan｜ピンチョス専門店 奈良料理mikado

What a find in Nara just back from the hideous tourist march. Open earlier than most and a welcome retreat from the summer heat at the end of the day. Modern delights refreshing decor relaxed music. Wish Mikado was at home

We arrived at Mikado looking for a bite to eat and we were greeted with one of the best experiences ever. The pinchos were executed on a level we’ve only seen in some of the finest restaurants in the world. Chef Kosuke wowed us with every bite. His English menu helped us decide easily what to order and his service was friendly and prompt. This is a must visit while in Nara.

I must say I found this place quite by accident and luckily I only wanted a little snack. Well I lucked out. The food was the perfect amount of delicious morsels. Excellent wine and amazing service. Perfect for an upscale quick snack while wandering and getting lost.
