Kitsune
A new type of sukiyaki menu created by the chef of the one-star restaurant "sio".
This sukiyaki restaurant is located on the first floor of the Shika-Saru Kitsune Building, a hot spot by Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten, a long-established Japanese craft-based manufacturing company in Nara. Chef Shusaku Toba, owner of the restaurant "sio," which has received one star for three consecutive years from the Michelin Guide Tokyo 2020, offers a new way to enjoy sukiyaki with a new menu that focuses on sukiyaki.
The signature sukiyaki is a one-of-a-kind delicacy updated in the spirit of learning from the past. A variety of dishes that have been painstakingly prepared to complement the main sukiyaki course, the sukiyaki chirashi-jyu, which is fused with seafood chirashi, and the kitsune no sukiyaki jyu with a big fry on top, are all innovative in both appearance and taste, and will overturn the conventional concept of sukiyaki.
The chef's attention to detail is evident not only in such dishes, but also in the cutlery, furnishings, and interior design of the restaurant. Experience the new sukiyaki from the ancient capital of Nara in a space where tradition and time are in harmony.
