A superb Kanazawa cuisine restaurant standing in the streets of Nara

Tsuruyo stands quietly in a corner of a quiet residential area, just a few minutes' walk from the center of Nara. This small ryotei is a hidden gem where you can enjoy authentic Kaga cuisine run by a chef from Kanazawa.

Delivering the taste of Kanazawa to Nara

The highlight of our restaurant is the exquisite Kaga cuisine created by a chef who has undergone many years of training in Kanazawa. Everything, from the fragrant dashi to the delicate techniques that bring out the umami of the ingredients, and the innovative ideas that incorporate seasonal flavors, embodies the essence of Kanazawa. The menu changes monthly, and a lineup of dishes that make the most of seasonal ingredients is arranged.

Charming old-fashioned atmosphere

The store is surrounded by charming designs and nostalgic furnishings, as if you have slipped back in time to an Edo period ryotei. The atmosphere exudes the elegance and dignity that also reflects the chef's culinary philosophy, with heartfelt hospitality based on the spirit of 'Ichigo Ichie' (one opportunity, one encounter).

Enjoy the five senses with Kaiseki cuisine

Kaiseki courses ranging from a few thousand yen to over twenty thousand yen are available. You can indulge luxuriously with all five senses, from the appearance of the dishes, the aromas emanating from the ingredients, to the exquisite harmony of local Nara sake and Japanese sake selected by the chef. The value exceeds the price, which is the charm of this renowned restaurant.

Enjoy Michelin-star level taste at a reasonable price

Tsuruyo, where you can experience the dignity of a long-established restaurant and genuine skills, is also recommended as a place to create special memories during your trip to Nara. It is a popular ryotei among locals and connoisseurs, where you can enjoy the taste of Michelin-star level at a reasonable price.
