Why we point you here
Michelin-charted Indian cooking in ancient Nara—worth the detour from Kyoto or Osaka.
Indian cooking precise enough to earn a Michelin Bib Gourmand in a city better known for temples than spice. If you're roaming Nara's quieter streets, we'd point you to Masala an TAKUMI—it's worth building a night around something beyond the usual kaiseki routine.
