Kuranoma, operated by Kintetsu Retailing Co.,Ltd. is a reservation-only restaurant housed in a renovated traditional townhouse that is more than 140 years old in historic Nara, just a short walk from Nara Park and Todaiji Temple. Limited to a maximum of two parties per service, the restaurant offers an intimate setting for a memorable dining experience.
The establishment specializes in unagi (eel), one of the most celebrated dishes in Japanese Cuisine, served as a chef-prepared course menu finished directly in front of guests. The sounds of cooking, enticing aromas, and rising steam create an immersive dining experience unique to Japan.

Each dish highlights a different aspect of the ingredient, allowing guests to appreciate the depth and versatility of unagi throughout the meal.
