Enjoy sukiyaki as you’ve never done before, with local Nara ingredients like the vaunted Yamato Ushi kuroge wagyu black beef. 🥩🍲
Nara is known for its historic streets, castles 🏯, and temples, and overall possesses an image of being one of Japan’s cultural and historic strongholds. This makes it all the more surprising that just a seven-minute walk from Kintetsu-Nara Station, tucked away in a back alley, one restaurant — Sukiyaki Kappo Kitsune 🦊 — is reinventing one of Japan’s most enduring culinary icons: sukiyaki.
Dating back to the Meiji Era, sukiyaki remains one of Japan’s most enduring culinary icons, a hotpot dish of thinly sliced beef, chrysanthemum greens, tofu, and green onions simmered in a broth of soy sauce, sugar, and sake. While the preparation method remains much the same at Kitsune, the restaurant offers three different dips in which to enjoy the hotpot.
Guests have a choice of dipping their sukiyaki in an “odorless” egg 🥚 from Nasu Farm in Kumamoto Prefecture, in an egg mixed with shichimi seven-spice mix 🌶️ from spice maker Yamatsu Tsujita, and finally in the restaurant’s original sauce with seasonal ingredients. By constantly changing up the dips in which the sukiyaki is immersed, Kitsune hopes that each bite will remain fresh and novel, letting guests discover new dimensions in each mouthful, all the way to the last drop of broth 🍜.
