For most Nanjing people, the ancient capital of the ancient south has special memories. Konandu Nakono is a Japanese restaurant under Konandu Hotel, and it is the earliest Japanese restaurant in Nanjing in the early 90s. Nagoya, Japan, was once a sister city of Nanjing, and "Nakono" is the Japanese pronunciation of Nagoya. In the past, the ancient capital of the ancient south brought the flavor of the East to Nanjing, and opened the door to Japanese cuisine from here. Over the years, Nakono has gradually lost its position as a leading Japanese restaurant among countless rising Japanese cuisines, and now you can still get a glimpse of the flavors of the past in his dishes.
With the rise of high-end Japanese cuisine in Nanjing, there are not many changes and innovations in the dishes of Gunandu, but relying on the background of Gunandu Restaurant, its dishes are also rich, from sashimi with high requirements for ingredients, to ordinary udon noodles, curry rice, pots, fried dishes, soups, etc., are all standing dishes. The variety of seafood ingredients is not as good as that of high-end Japanese restaurants, but the quality of sashimi ingredients such as salmon and arctic shellfish is also better than that of ordinary Japanese restaurants. The texture of the salmon is pronounced, the taste is delicate, and the Arctic shellfish is able to maintain its crispness. The cooking quality of tempura is superb, the skin is light and crispy, not greasy, and the inside is fresh and tender for both seafood and vegetables. However, it is difficult to see the delicacy of the appetizers and other dishes, and most of them are common appetizers such as seaweed and snail meat.
Located on the top floor of the podium of the Konandu Hotel, a small garden area has been created outside the restaurant. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow the restaurant to be flooded with light, allowing you to enjoy the view of the garden from the inside of the restaurant, even if you dine in the hotel. In terms of service, it also maintains the same standard as a long-established hotel, from guiding seating to introducing dishes. Although it lacks the glory of the past, on the whole, Nakono is also above many Japanese restaurants.
