Nara, Japan | Sukiyaki Kappo Kitsune | Creative Yamato Beef Sukiyaki

- Restaurant Introduction -

Located just a 7-minute walk from Kintetsu-Nara Station, Sukiyaki Kappo Kitsune is hidden away in a charming alley in Japan's thousand-year-old capital. While Nara is famous for its ancient temples and sacred deer, this restaurant brings a contemporary culinary soul to the city, redefining the national dish of 'Sukiyaki'. The highlight of the dining experience is the local Nara brand, Yamato Beef. This premium Kuroge Wagyu (Japanese Black) is gently simmered in a rich broth seasoned with local rice malt, offering a mellow and delicate flavor.

What sets Sukiyaki Kappo Kitsune apart is its bold innovation in flavor; in addition to high-quality eggs, guests can try a variety of unique dipping sauces and spices. As part of the 'sio' group, the restaurant incorporates the essence of French culinary techniques into its appetizers and desserts, perfectly blending European elegance with the Japanese spirit. Whether you choose the classic full-course meal or the signature 'Wagyu Rice Bowl', this place offers a sophisticated yet accessible dining experience, allowing you to enjoy a feast of Nara's finest local ingredients in a space that spans both history and modernity.

- Set Menu Details -

• Wagyu Rice Bowl Set
  Sukiyaki Kappo Kitsune cleverly puts a twist on the classic Japanese 'Hitsumabushi' (eel rice bowl), replacing the main star with Nara's pride, the Yamato Kuroge Wagyu.

We recommend tasting the original flavor of the Wagyu first, then adding the condiments and special broth in order to enjoy the rich layers of taste.
