What to do and see in Nara, Kinki: The Best Food & Drink
Thirteen hundred years ago, Nara (then Heiju-kyu) was the imperial capital of Japan. "Old Japan" is still easy to spot here, from Great Buddha Hall to traditional ryokans and the serene Isuien garden. Travelers rave about walking tours of Nara, particularly in the historic Naramachi merchant area.

Thank you so much Chie! This is a great experience whilst in Japan. Chie is so incredibly lovely, the food is amazing and it was good day spent in Nara. The recipe card is so easy to follow, I’ve managed to get all the ingredients so I can cook as soon as I get back to Australia. Will definitely be back for the karaage and takoyaki classes!

We finished our day off at the brewery after walking many kms to Nara's outskirt temples. The sake was a warming relief from the cold elements outside and we had the 5 sakes and pickles. We liked each sake for their varying characteristics and it extended our knowledge. Consequently we bought each Sake and thoroughly enjoyed them during our trip in Japan. We were not disappointed with them subsequently. The surrounding area of the Brewery has lovely artisan shops and is nice for a stroll as well.
