[Ristorante Nakamoto], which opened in 2011, is located in Kizugawa City, which is located at the southernmost tip of Kyoto Prefecture and is adjacent to Nara Prefecture. Chef Nakamoto was fascinated by the Italian food culture, where he doesn't hesitate to travel for an hour or two to find delicious food at a restaurant, so he set up his restaurant in this place away from the city of Kyoto. As envisioned by Chef Nakamoto, the restaurant has become a gathering place for gourmands from far and wide, and has made a name for itself as one of the most popular Italian restaurants in the Kansai region. The cuisine is based on the theme of "tradition and innovation, fun and deliciousness". There are dishes that take about three hours to finish, and the menu is only the chef's choice course because they want to serve each ingredient in the best condition.

Also, on the second floor of the restaurant, he runs a ramen shop [Nakamoto Shokudo], which is also a hot topic. Although the store is currently closed, it is available for mail order, and is gaining popularity as an excellent ramen that can be ordered. The soup made by Chef Nakamoto is frozen as it is to lock in the flavor, so you can warm up the whole bag and enjoy the taste of the restaurant. Why don't you order it and enjoy authentic ramen at home?
