The bargain set of Nara’s famous specialty, sushi on the persimmon leaf, numbers limited.
Kakinoha Sushi (sushi on the persimmon leaf) has been a local cuisine in southern Nara for more than 200 years. Famous shops dot the prefecture, keeping the food culture and the traditional taste alive. Kakinoha Sushi Tanaka is one of them with 120-year history since 1903. They have shops mainly in Nara and Kansai Region, also extending into Tokyo and Aichi.
The Nara Headshop is conveniently located in front of Kintetsu Nara Station. Along with the Gojo shop, the headquarters on Gojo Street, it manages the whole operation. The shop has an eating space called “Kakinoha Chaya” where you can taste the sushi right there.
The highlight on the menu is Sushi A La Carte. The Nara Headshop’s limited bargain set features the Kakinoha Sushi, original sushi, a side dish and soup. Many fans order this popular menu for lunch, but the serving number is limited. There are times, such as Golden Week, the year end or New Year’s Day, that are not on the menu. It is best to ask about availability before you visit the shop.
