The very first restaurant in the history of Nara to receive 3 Michelin Stars.
The very first restaurant in the history of Nara to be listed in the Michelin Guide as 3 stars and currently 1 Michelin Star, Wa Yamamura’s head chef and owner Nobuharu Yamamura trained for years at Kikusuiro in Nara, as well as Michelin-starred restaurant Ajikitcho in Osaka.
As a restaurant that has continued to be listed in the Michelin Guide for consecutive years, some guests may expect there to be a certain level of formality in the restaurant’s atmosphere, but at Wa Yamamura you will find only a relaxing, almost at-home atmosphere. The friendliness of the chef and waiting staff welcome all guests to relax and enjoy a time of amazing culinary experiences.
Chef Nobuharu Yamamura prepares only the freshest ingredients for his guests by sourcing them directly and daily from the local markets, and uses his skills and years of experience to create a course that will stimulate the five senses and draw guests into a state of flavory euphoria.
The second floor of the building is used just to store the Chef’s amazing collection of over 1,000 pieces of tableware, many of the which are one-of-a-kind artworks created by famous contemporary artists. Almost as dynamic as the cuisine, each dish and plate is exquisitely paired to help guests feel the season and are an essential element to the wonderful dining experience at Wa Yamamura.
