The story

Da terra in Kashihara-shi, Nara: Italian Restaurant With a Michelin Star

Da terra is an Italian restaurant at 884 Kawahara, Asukamura, Takaichi-gun, in Kashihara-shi, Nara. The Michelin Guide awarded it one star in 2026.

Vegetables from its own garden

The kitchen builds its courses around more than 100 kinds of vegetables grown in the restaurant's garden, with seasonal fish and meat alongside. The owner grew up in Asuka and sows and tends much of what reaches the plate. The Smart Green Guide has given the restaurant four radishes for 2026. Lunch is a full course of about nine dishes at ¥9,900 including tax, with no service charge added.

An old farmhouse and its drinks

Meals are served in a farmhouse renovated from a building more than 100 years old. The Italian menu changes with the season, so the dishes follow what the garden yields. An alcohol pairing of seven glasses, starting with sparkling wine, costs ¥7,700 and includes Nara sake. Guests are asked to order one drink each.
