【Novotel Nara】Summer Rooftop Beer Garden Floating in the Ancient Capital of Nara: Offering a Premium Plan to Enjoy Nara Ingredients and Grilled Dishes

Novotel Nara (Location: Nara City, Nara Prefecture) will offer a summer rooftop beer garden plan on its 8F "Rooftop Terrace" for a limited period in 2026.

Enjoy a unique summer experience with grilled dishes featuring ingredients from Nara Prefecture, along with beer and champagne, while feeling the pleasant night breeze on the open rooftop.

■ Juicy Grilled Plate and Marshmallow Pizza Grilled over Charcoal

The main dish is a dynamic grilled plate of "Baaku Pork" from Nara Prefecture, grilled over charcoal.
This brand pork, characterized by its sweet fat and rich umami, is finished with a fragrant and juicy texture.

The lineup includes grilled sausages, Cajun-style fried chicken, and charcoal-grilled homemade Baaku pork bacon, all perfect with beer.

For potato lovers, there are unlimited french fries that can be refilled as many times as you like within the time limit, along with dips that allow for a change in flavor, such as smoky BBQ sauce and curry-flavored mayonnaise.

The menu also features dishes with an exotic essence, such as "Plov," a rice dish familiar in Samarkand, a sister city of Nara in Uzbekistan, and spiced edamame.

To finish, a dessert pizza combining the sweetness of marshmallows with fragrant baked pizza is available.
It's a perfect dish to enjoy after your meal, right to the end.
