Kamameshi Shizuka(釜飯 志津香), the Famous Restaurant for Scrumptious Kamameshi for Over 50 Years in Nara, Japan


On Aug. 30, 2017, after I visited Todai-Ji(東大寺) and Kasuga-Taisha(春日大社) with my friend in Nara, Japan, it was almost at 13:30. We both felt so hungry! We'd like to try Nara's speciality, Kamameshi Shizuka (釜飯 志津香)

Although there was the headquarters of Kamameshi Shizuka(釜飯 志津香) near Nara Park, the waiting period was horrible!

We decided to Kamameshi Shizuka's new branch near Shin-Omiya Station. It took us 10 minutes to get there from Shin-Omiya Station.

Luckily, we didn't waste our time queueing at Kamameshi Shizuka's branch at Shin-Omiya. It would be a better choice to try the delicious kamameshi at this branch.

We arrived at our destination almost at 14:00. We had seats soon.

There were 2 kinds of seats, tatamis and chairs. What we had was exactly the tatami.

I took a look at its menu. Every kind of Kamameshis seemed really attractive for me. After considering, I finally chose the first one, Nara Nanashu-Kamameshi, with an egg.

The kamameshi was cooked only after we ordered our meals. Patience was necessary for us.

We just enjoyed its warm tea after our orders.

I tried its miso soup at first. I was really satisfied by its rich miso!

The restaurant, Kamameshi Shizuka(釜飯 志津香), also taught us how to enjoy the kamameshi! We had the center part at first, and kept other parts capped in the pot. Secondly we had the other part around the center. Finally, we used the paddle to scrape off OKOGE from the rim of the pot!

The kamameshi was quite scrumptious. The seafood, vegetables, Japanese rice and egg composed a beautiful symphony of cuisine!

I think Kamameshi Shizuka(釜飯 志津香) is definitely worth a try if it doesn't take you too much time to queue! And the seats and space were quite comfortable at the branch of Shin-Omiya Station. I suggest that you enjoy the delicious kamameshi at Kamameshi Shizuka Shin-Omiya. It seems a smarter choice!
