Kakinoha Sushi Hyo-taro



Kakinoha Sushi is a specialty of Nara. The day after it is made, the flavor soaks in and the sushi tastes best.
Since it is representative of Nara's local cuisine, it is a sushi that you should try at least once when you come to Nara.
There are mackerel and salmon, both wrapped in vinegared rice and persimmon leaves, and the sushi can be eaten with one hand. Although there are only a few ingredients, the best of the ingredients are used to their fullest, making the food rich in flavor.

Handmade Kakinoha Sushi



Kakinoha Sushi is handmade and wrapped by hand, and you can feel the love that goes into it.
Even on the hottest summer days, one can mysteriously eat as many as one likes, making it popular throughout the year. It is also characterized by its longevity due to the use of salted persimmon leaves. The aroma of the persimmon leaves soaks into the vinegared rice, whetting the appetite. Hyotaro is located near the copper torii gate of Kinpusan-ji Temple's Zao-do Hall, so be sure to stop by when you go sightseeing in Yoshino.
