Nakaichi is a sushi kappo, a format that mixes the small cooked dishes of Kyoto cuisine with a sushi counter, run with techniques passed down over two generations. Courses flow from seasonal appetisers, tempura and chawanmushi into nigiri and end with the restaurants own saba-zushi. Fish arrives daily from Awaji Island and the Seto Inland Sea.
