FOOD & DRINK
Dinner
At Asuka Guest House we provide dinner at reasonable prices.
Nara prefecture doesn't have access to the sea. It compensates that with an abundance in fruits of the land. Our dinner is a daily changing plate consisting of vegetables, rice and meat.
Those three components are well-balanced. We use ingredients that we think are delicious, like rice from designated rice farmers in Asuka and fresh produce harvested in the area.
Among the ingredients, the flavor of Asuka Mai Rice is a special A-grade ranked hinohikari rice which we, needless to say, offer for our dinners, purchased directly from the producers.
And we offer our speciality "oden-style daikon radish" cooked in broth. It goes well with rice or sake and warms the body and the soul. Be sure to try it!
Oden-style Daikon Radish
On certain days we offer "ancient rice" with our meals, a speciality only available in this area with its abundant history.
Dinner must be booked in advance.
Choose "overnight stay including dinner" when making your reservation.
Dinner: ¥ 1000
Special dinner: from ¥ 1500
Vegetarian dinner: from ¥ 1000
Light meals and Snacks
Starting with Curry and Rice, we have several light meals
and specially selected snacks sure to go well with Japanese sake or beer.
Sweets, nuts, canned food, platter of fried food, side dishes, oden
From light snacks to genuine oden
we provide all kinds of snacks!
Curry and Rice
We offer curry and rice and a side dish as a set meal.
Japanese Sake
At Asuka Guest House we are very proud of our sake selection.
This region is the birthplace of Japanese sake. We have a collection of local non-pasteurized young sake that we strongly recommend.
Getting advice from sake brewers and liquor-shop owners under contract in Nara prefecture, we also prepared a collection of ginjou sake (sake made from high-polished rice) and sake that is suited to be drunken warm.
Our sake-tasting set is sure to even satisfy the most demanding aficionados.
Of course we also offer beer and plum liqueur!
Our plum liqueur comes from Ume no Shuku, a sake brewery at the foot of Mount Katsuragi in Nara that was established 120 years ago.
We are not cutting any corners when it comes to soft drinks, either. You can choose from sweet or dry Ginger Ale.
For those guests who'd rather not have alcohol, we want to recommend a soft drink to toast with: Diamond Guarana!
It is frothing like beer and has a refreshing taste. Don't miss the opportunity to taste it at ASUKA GUEST HOUSE!
Breakfast
Breakfast must be reserved in advance. Choose "overnight stay including breakfast" when booking.
Breakfast is ¥ 300.
It consists of a daily changing sandwich, a banana, and coffee with a rich aroma from our De Longhi coffee maker. Feel free to help yourself to the vegetable juice in the fridge.
Enjoying a leisurely morning with a late breakfast might be the true charm of a vacation.
