Azekura – A Refined Culinary Journey Through Japanese Traditions

Nestled within JW Marriott Hotel Nara, Azekura is a sanctuary of Japanese gastronomy where tradition meets artistry. Offering an exquisite trio of culinary experiences—kaiseki, sushi, and teppanyaki—Azekura invites you to savor the rich seasonal flavors and timeless techniques that define Japanese cuisine.

Each dish is crafted with precision and reverence for local ingredients, including celebrated delicacies like Yamato vegetables and premium Nara wagyu. Whether seated at the elegant sushi counter, indulging in a meticulously prepared kaiseki course, or enjoying the theatrical flair of teppanyaki, guests are immersed in a multi-sensory dining experience inspired by the harmony of nature and the spirit of Nara.

With refined hospitality and an atmosphere of serene sophistication, Azekura is more than a meal—it is a cultural encounter rooted in the beauty and bounty of Japan.
