Placing fluffy white rice cooked in an earthen pot over an okudo-san hearth at the center of the meal, Soujiki Nakahigashi offers deeply flavorful Japanese cuisine that embraces the blessings of nature in full. Guests can experience the changing character of the rice, from the niebana served just before it fully finishes cooking with a tender core remaining, to the fully cooked rice bursting with sweetness, and finally the fragrant scorched okoge, which pairs exceptionally well with charcoal-grilled mezashi. Dishes evoking the seasons grace the table, including an eight-inch hassun platter of wild herbs and mountain greens gathered by the owner himself, and carp sashimi rinsed in groundwater to clear all mud. At the 1st-floor counter seats where the warmth of the hearth can be felt, you can enjoy a lively experience accompanied by the owner's witty conversation, while the tatami seating and private rooms on the 2nd floor allow for calm, relaxed dining. It is a venue where you can wholeheartedly savor the seasonal gifts of life amid unpretentious hospitality.
