What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Over 60-year-old kamameshi (clay pot rice) specialist in Nara. The Omiya branch offers a spacious dining room for a leisurely meal. Each pot is cooked over direct flame, taking about 30 minutes, but the crispy rice crust (okoge) makes it worth the wait. TripAdvisor 4.3 with 52 reviews. No franchise - only 2 directly managed locations.

Regulars rave about the crispy rice crust and authentic 60-year-old recipe. Praised as a place you never tire of. Ranked 35th out of 1,281 restaurants in Nara on TripAdvisor.
