The Restaurant
Akordu, meaning "memories" in Basque, offers a dining experience deeply intertwined with Nara's rich history. Chef Hiroshi Kawashima's modern Spanish cuisine reflects the story of each ingredient and evokes personal memories. Located near Nara Park and the ancient Todai-ji Temple, Akordu provides a scenic backdrop for its tasting menu. The restaurant emphasizes locally sourced ingredients, connecting diners to the region's charm. The poetic menu, presented on individual cards within a small box, stirs the imagination. Kawashima's gastronomy is rooted in Nara's character, while his technique draws inspiration from Spanish culinary traditions. Akordu has *two* Michelin stars, a testament to its excellent cooking.
