What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A釜めし specialty restaurant in a nationally registered historic building (former inn built in 1853, 170+ years old) at the gate of Taimadera Temple. Each釜めし is cooked to order using Yamato Pork, Yamato Beef, and Nara-sourced ingredients. Tripadvisor #2 in Katsuragi, rated 4.5. 2,904 Tabelog saves. Seasonal menus (spring 2025: bamboo shoot kamameshi).

Reviews say 'Not expensive at all - completely worth it' and 'Freshly cooked rice in a 170-year-old farmhouse is exceptional.' The 20-minute wait for freshly cooked rice is worthwhile. A beloved spot for both locals and visitors to Taimadera Temple. Seasonal bamboo shoot kamameshi added in April 2025.
