Noka Sakaba Do Hatten

Popular izakaya near the station that boasts locally produced ingredients.

Last update :

Conveniently located just a minute walk from Kashihara Jingu-mae Station on the Kintetsu Railway line, this izakaya is loved by locals and tourists alike. The name "Noka Sakaba" comes from the fact that the first owner was also a farmer and used the vegetables and rice he grew, and the second owner has firmly inherited this intention, serving dishes that incorporate plenty of locally grown ingredients and practicing local production for local consumption. The freshness and flavor of the ingredients as well as the reasonable prices are probably the reasons for the restaurant's popularity.

The menu features a variety of dishes that make the most of the flavors of the ingredients themselves. Although it is difficult to choose one dish over another, you can't go wrong by ordering the famous Asuka nabe. The earthenware pot is filled with ingredients such as fresh Yamato chicken and local vegetables. You can enjoy the flavor of the ingredients in the creamy, rich broth.

Tempura of energetic vegetables is also a popular menu item. You can order your favorite dish by itself, or you can choose a special course that includes all of the restaurant's signature dishes. Enjoy Nara's famous bar while consulting with the second-generation owner according to your budget, the number of people in your party, and the occasion.
