There are many cafes in Nara prefecture that are designed to be in harmony with nature, but the pioneer shop called Kurumi no Ki is a little far from the Sanjo area in Nara Town, which is the center of Nara City. It's just around the corner.A healing cafe opened in 1984 by designer and owner Yukiko Ishimura. More than 30 years later, the name has reached the national level, and many tourists from all over the country as well as locals have come to visit ...
Kurumi no Ki | Many fans all over Japan!The forerunner of natural-oriented cafes in Nara Prefecture
There is a walnut tree along the JR Yamatoji line that extends north from JR Nara station toward Kyoto.Frankly speaking, it's a quiet residential area with nothing around.You can hear the sound of the train running on the immediate side directly.
The store is located in a place that is not very good in terms of location, but the natural style at the time of opening has been retained, and now the general store cage and the clothing store Noix La Soeur are on the same site. Has been added, and more natural-minded customers have come to visit.
The inside of the store is spacious, and there are about 10 table seats, centered on the dining table in the back of the center, keeping a sufficient distance from the next seat.There is enough space for the customers next door to not bother you, so you can use it comfortably not only when you enjoy lunch or a cafe with your friends, but also when you want to be alone, such as reading a book.
Seasonal Lunch: Weekly popular healthy menu using local vegetables and seasonal ingredients
Kurumi no Ki offers a weekly menu lunch using local vegetables and seasonal ingredients for reserved guests only (1600 yen plus tax).One day I visited the menu ...

- Sweet potato rice
- Hiryu head ginger bean paste
- Stir-fried konjac and burdock with miso
- Fried lotus root salad
- Miso soup of long potato
- Jonathan jelly
Menu structure.Although a little spiciness was added with ginger-flavored bean paste and thread pepper, the overall taste was light and it was a healthy lunch that you could easily enter without straining your body.
All of the vegetables used are fresh and have no harshness, so I think it's a lunch that is perfect for natural-minded people.But for a normal adult man, this amount probably won't fill his stomach at all ...

That's why I also added Montblanc (540 yen plus tax) to coffee and dessert after meals.Montblanc also has a natural chestnut taste, and it is not too sweet and has a refreshing aftertaste, which I personally like.Could you have spent more than an hour drinking coffee and relaxing for some reason?There is no rushing atmosphere at all, and you can spend a relaxing time.
Well, I don't recommend using lunch alone as a cospa (and the work of bringing in a PC is also harsh in the atmosphere), but it is very good for thinking and reading books alone. I think it's the environment.
An online store is also in operation ... Access to the Kurumi no Ki Ichijo store is a 15-minute walk from the nearest station, Kintetsu Nara Line Shin-Omiya Station.
Although it is such a walnut tree, we operate an online store on the store's website, and you can buy products selected by the store from tea and sweets to furniture, tableware, and clothing by mail order.Especially now that it is difficult to move in the corona fossa, it is a wise choice to utilize such mail order.
Then, it is the details of the shop.Click here for store data
