sushi kawashima — Restaurant in Kashihara

Sushi Kawashima is a hidden treasure. Before we arrived, I wondered why it would be worth going so far (South of Nara) to eat sushi in a country full of high-quality sushi. Chef Hiroyuki Kawashima showed me to be foolish as each course was a gift to my soul. My companions and I learned about each fish as we enjoyed the unique preparations and stellar quality traditional sushi. The flavors were woven together in a beautiful story as more complexity and umami were added throughout the evening and I understood the importance of the restaurant's location in the heart of so many premium quality ingredients. A stop here will be on my list for every future trip. Arigatou...

Definitely wasn’t expecting such an amazing and life changing experience! From every course that was served in front of us last night, you couldn’t help but to smile with beautiful joy and feel the love and thought that was put into the fish that was sacrificed for our body to refuel on! It was such a unique and beautiful experience! You definitely wasn’t going to leave feeling hungry! 😋 Thank you chef for making my trip to Japan worth all my life and and now I can pass away happy! ❤️ I highly recommend trying this Omakase if you can even get a reservation! It will...

We have eaten at many Michelin and omakase restaurants in the United States, and this is by far the best experience we have had! Any sushi we have after this will be ruined because this was too good! Chef Kawashima was so kind and took the time to translate for us. The location may be a little far from popular tourist destinations, but this was definitely worth the trip! I would highly recommend this place to anyone...
