Chinese Sai Naramachi Kuko
Chinese Sai Naramachi Kuko puts Nara into the serious Chinese dining conversation through a fish-led kitchen, a house-restaurant format, and a drinks program that gives equal space to sake and wine. Its 2026 Tabelog 100 Chinese WEST selection confirms the level, but the more interesting point is how a small Naramachi address reframes Chinese technique through local Japanese sourcing habits.
