Arata Japanese cuisine intuitive 新 — Restaurant in Nose

A high-quality restaurant nestled in the countryside of Nose.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be impressed by their sleek decor, blending a gentle mix of traditional Japanese and European styles. Your dinner will be accompanied by a variety of top-quality dishes sourced from the region, as Chef Nakai always prioritizes seasonal ingredients and locally sourced products. This is a beautiful nod to the Michelin-starred chef Arabelle Meirlaen, with whom he had the opportunity to work several times. Everything was perfect, and I look forward to dining there again very soon.
