1 mochi at the mochi shop
Appetizer with Kaki no Ha Zushi (sushi in persimmon leaf)
We start our tour at the most famous mochi maker in the city. If we're lucky, we'll witness a mochi pounding session and get to taste the freshest mochi just made a minute before our eyes. It's the perfect way to kick off our culinary adventure in Nara.
We will visit one of the best and traditional "Kaki no Ha Zushi" makers in Nara. This special sushi is rolled in a persimmon fruit leaf, giving it a unique flavor. We'll have the pleasure to try 2-3 sushis as an appetizer before moving on to the main stops of the tour.
