Ashibi no Sato is located across from Nara Historical Museum where several precious documents from Nara have been preserved and are displayed. Placed in this town, Ashibiya Honten has been serving Nara-zuke (pickles seasoned in sake lees) since the Edo period in its Japanese-style dining hall. The building built from thick black walls emanates the presence of the historical city of Nara. Not only can you have a fill of Nara-zuke and seasonal foods, but you can also buy your favorite tsukemono from its store. Take a staple symbol of Japanese cultural food back with you.
