Taste the taste of ingredients at a café with a 40-year history Next we will introduce “Walnut Tree Ichijo,” a café and general merchandise store. It is located on the southeast side of the Heijo Palace ruins, a 15-minute walk from Shin-Omiya Station, but it is actually a very popular store among women who know about it. The owner, Yukiko Ishimura, started the café 40 years ago, and now has “cage” selling general merchandise, “NOiX La Soeur” offering women’s clothing, and “pieni35” as an event space on the lush green premises. Next to the café is a cake factory where a wide variety of sweets are made, and next to the cake factory is a store selling carefully selected foods from all over Japan. Many visitors come to the popular café for the cakes, and the showcase is filled with five to six standard cakes and five to six seasonal cakes. The “Seasonal Lunch,” a vegetable-centered lunch made with carefully prepared seasonal ingredients, is also popular. The menu changes every two weeks, but on this particular day, the menu included “rice with dried radish and shrimp,” “rolled vegetables with plum sauce,” “okra and nameko mushroom with grated radish,” “grilled eggplant and organic konnyaku,” “miso soup with tofu and wakabu,” and “pears from Nara Kikui Orchard. I had a chance to taste the dishes and was surprised by the gentle flavors that made the most of the ingredients. Where have I had this before? I remembered that the food served at the hotel “MIROKU”, where I stayed on my last visit to Nara, was supervised by Walnut Tree. They serve 60 lunches on weekdays and 80 on Saturdays and Sundays, but the menu often ends early due to its popularity. It is possible to call the restaurant and ask them to place a hold on the lunch, so it is recommended that those who are looking for lunch contact the restaurant.
Elegant afternoon tea at the luxurious JW Marriott Hotel Nara “There are not many hotels in Nara” and “There is no national brand hotel where foreigners can stay” have been voiced for some time, but in response to such needs, the JW Marriott Hotel Nara The JW Marriott Hotel Nara opened in July 2020. JW Marriott is one of the highest class luxury brands of Marriott International, which has more than 30 hotel brands. JW Marriott is one of the highest class luxury brands of Marriott International, which has more than 30 hotel brands, and its first arrival in Japan has attracted much attention. The six-story exterior of the hotel, which was designed in consideration of the landscape, is a perfect example, but the interior of the hotel, with its Nara-inspired design, is a fusion of modern and traditional elements that is both elegant and refined, leaving one with a sigh of wonder. I was shown three types of guest rooms, and the 172m2 Presidential Suite was otherworldly. This hotel offers afternoon tea, and until December 17, they are offering the “Izaza Izaza Nara Collaboration Afternoon Tea Set” in collaboration with the “Izaza Izaza Nara” campaign. The menu includes 10 items that incorporate local ingredients and food culture, such as sandwiches with Nara pickles as an accent, cheesecake using sozo, the original cheese, and mont blanc using Nara’s chestnuts, along with scones. In addition, the “Iziza Nara Collaboration Special Afternoon Tea Set” is available only for nine groups a day, and includes “Shrimp Salad with Caviar, Crispy Pie and Nara Shiitake Mushroom Duxelles” and “Nara Prefecture Gekise Plum Mousse”.
