Nakamura serves kaiseki cuisine in a sukiya-style building in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka. The restaurant relocated to its current address at 2-10 Tsumashōji in March 2016 after eleven years operating in Kitakyushu. Interior materials, including juraku clay walls and stone paving, were sourced from Kyoto and overseen by architect Akira Sugihara, giving the dining room the feel of a mountain retreat tucked away from the nearby Nakasu entertainment district.
The kaiseki courses follow seasonal ingredients, served on tableware chosen for its connection to the tea ceremony. Tokonoma alcove displays change with the dishes, and the handwritten menus are produced under the guidance of calligrapher Reiko Kai.
Nakamura holds two Michelin stars, as listed in the Michelin Guide Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki 2019 Special Edition. The restaurant is categorized at the top (luxury) price tier. International guests are asked to book through Pocket Concierge or Omakase.in rather than by phone or Instagram, since the restaurant's own booking channels are reserved for domestic guests using LINE.
The restaurant serves lunch from 11:30 to 14:00 and dinner from 18:00 to 22:30, Monday through Saturday; it is closed on Sundays. A private room is available, and the restaurant offers a five-person buyout for 50,000 yen plus tax and service charge.
