「鹿之舟」被稱為奈良的觀光據點，是位於奈良市的觀光複合設施。而提供竈爐煮飯體驗的「竈」就是「鹿之舟」內的一家餐廳。在這家餐廳能品嚐到使用奈良當地食材的日本家庭料理。「竈」不僅以樸實無華，卻又不失精緻優雅的料理博得人心，更吸引客人味蕾的是使用日本傳統灶台竈爐煮出的香噴噴的白飯。
餐廳的主角竈爐是由奈良縣宇陀市的職人親手打造。據說現在從事製作竈爐的職人越來越少了。
竈爐煮飯體驗活動大約開始於兩年前。負責指導的是餐廳職員山下瞳女士。活動開始之前，山下瞳女士將為各位參加體驗的客人仔細講解煮飯的具體步驟。

使用的稻米是奈良縣生產的「日之光」 。 從2012年到2015年連續四年榮獲「稻米食味排名」A等級獎
使用扁柏的木柴生火。由於扁柏易於燃燒，因此被稱為「火之木」
使用叫做吹子（日文：ふいご）的竹筒送風以增強火力！ 順便一提，之後會將柴火的灰燼撒到稻田裡做肥料
用Kamado煮出的白飯晶瑩剔透，顆粒分明。而且濕潤中帶有嚼勁非常好吃
剛煮好的白飯很熱，請注意不要燙傷
配菜每週更換一次。選用奈良風味的醃菜和味增湯等與飯糰相搭的配菜
自己親手做的飯糰吃起來格外香！飯糰和配菜兩者相輔相成的口感令人回味無窮

在「鹿之舟」設施內還有一家風格優雅時尚的預約制餐廳「囀」，可以盡情品嚐用時令食材烹製的精緻料理
I liked building the fire, and stoking the fire, and then being taught how to make the onigiri by hand.
Being so involved with the process of making onigiri was wonderful. It's extra special when you make something that's unique to you. And even better when you get to eat it at the end. The staff were extremely friendly and the food was delicious!
A very simple but down to earth unique experience. The rice was delicious and would definitely recommend to anyone who is spending time in Nara and wants to try something a little different. Our guide was very enthusiastic about her job which was extremely refreshing.
This is a pleasant experience for almost any foreign tourists, especially because it includes a light meal in the price.
Perfect for families with kids.
Location is excellent, being in downtown Dara in proximity to the famous deer Park and temples and shrines.
