Li is a Japanese restaurant in Naramachi that has been on TV shows. Their dishes are really exquisite and taste really good. The dining environment is very fresh and elegant. My favorite is sushi!
This is a very good Japanese restaurant. The food there is delicious. I ordered a set meal and didn't have to worry about ordering. The food tasted good. The matcha was very light and the price was very high.

They serve Edo cuisine, including tempura and sashimi. The price is reasonable. The environment is decorated in the style of the Edo period. The waiters are all wearing kimonos. The tempura shrimp is the best.
I asked the customer service and found out that this is the same store as the Edogawa Naramachi store! We have been there three times! We must have come for the Maggi eel rice. Of course, the tamagoyaki, tempura and sukiyaki are all very good, especially the three-way eel. The delicious and smooth taste is amazing at first sight, and I will fall in love with it again...

It's right in front of Nara Station. The beef here is really delicious. There are many kinds of beef, some raw and some grilled. I think the beef in Sukiyaki is the best.
The environment and taste of the restaurant are good. The business is very good. When I went there, I had to queue for a while, but it was very quick. The eel rice inside is tender and juicy, and the set meal is still very rich. It tastes very good with Japanese fruit.

I ordered an eel rice set meal, which comes with soup and a steamed egg. There is eel in every dish. The soup is made from eel liver, so it is particularly delicious, without any MSG or anything like that.
Unagi Notoyokawa is a local Japanese restaurant that has been included in the Ctrip Gourmet Restaurant List. Its specialty is eel rice. We ordered a set meal and were given a bowl of miso soup for free.

A shop selling seafood rice, a must-visit for seafood lovers, I like the sea urchin sashimi rice bowl. The sashimi is very filling, and it makes you drool. The eel rice bowl is also very delicious, and is a good choice for those who don't like to eat raw food.
I found this eel rice restaurant on Dianping.com. It is located on Sanjo-dori near Nara JR Station. I saw that it was not far from the hotel near the station, so I went there immediately.
It was 7pm, and there were not many people eating. I waited for 15 minutes after ordering, and the eel rice was served. It was grilled eel on the spot. The skin of the eel was a bit hard, not the kind that melts in the mouth. Because I walked all day and was very hungry at night, I finished this set meal in one go.
The eel rice was average, not as delicious as the eel rice I had in Nagoya and Mishima.

Nara's tofu cuisine is very good, the price is a bit expensive, and the beef is more expensive, the plate of beef inside is a lot, according to your head, so super expensive.

The main ingredient here is chicken. There are grilled chicken skewers like those in izakayas, fried chicken steaks, and various chicken salads. I think the chicken steaks and chicken skewers are delicious, and the others are just average.
The space in the store is not very large, but the layout is very centralized and the lighting rendering is also very atmospheric.
