A few days ago, on the occasion of my partners birthday, we went to a "Tōfu and Yuba" restaurant in Nara, Japan. Located in Nimyo (Nara Prefecture) along NR 7, its called "Ume no Hana" or "Plum Blossom". A Japanese garden surrounds the restaurant and inside are separate rooms for guests to dine. You can choose between western or Japanese style seating. There is a Japanese inner style garden with a water basin.

The dinner served in traditional Japanese ceramics, and lacquerware was very beautiful. Part of the experience is the presentation and arrangement of the food. The accompanying pictures will speak for themselves. For some courses, you will need a reservation, though. There is a time limit of two hours to enjoy your meal, which is more than enough.
