When visiting the area around Kiyomizu Temple, this is a must-visit restaurant if you want to try tofu dishes! It's within walking distance and you can make a reservation, which is very convenient! The yuba gratin is incredibly delicious and I was instantly hooked! The nama-fu served here is also tasty, making it a great place to enjoy Kyoto cuisine.

I wanted to eat yuba, so I ended up at this restaurant. The restaurant is located on the second floor, allowing you to overlook the town and enjoy the beautiful view. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is calm. I ordered the Kyoto yuba set meal, which was satisfying from appetizers to rice, all featuring yuba. My favorite was the yuba ankake rice (third picture) with a gentle flavor and a hint of ginger.

I made a reservation at a reasonably priced restaurant in Kyoto for lunch where I could have a calm meal. I had the "Nama Yuba Zen" and it was nice to experience the atmosphere of Kyoto. I went with four colleagues from work, but there were also couples, groups of women, and solo diners enjoying the restaurant.

After visiting Ginkaku-ji Temple, I looked for a nearby delicious Kyoto cuisine and found a famous restaurant known for its yuba (tofu skin). I made a reservation through Tabelog and received a complimentary soy milk. I ordered the 2640 yen Kyoto yuba set meal, which included six dishes such as layered yuba and miso-grilled tofu, along with soy milk. The price was reasonable for the quality and the view of the distant Sanmon Gate. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to, making it a great place to enjoy Kyoto. Currently, there are many foreign visitors, so I recommend making a reservation to avoid the crowds.

In late March, during the cherry blossom season, I visited Kyoto. I wanted to try some yudofu (tofu hot pot) and immediately found this restaurant. And since I love Kodai-ji Temple, I had to visit it as well! I called and made a reservation right away. Even though it's possible to enter without a reservation, it's safer to have one! As soon as I arrived, I ordered the yudofu and the specialty yuba rice for 2640 yen without hesitation! After placing my order, the table setting began, and soon the dishes started to arrive. The three types of steamed yuba were so delicious, with a firm yet soft texture that melted in my mouth. The fried yuba was a new experience for me, and despite being fried, the sweetness of the yuba was still evident. The yudofu was undeniably delicious, with the tofu gently swaying in the kombu broth. The unique aroma of the tofu spread in my mouth, and I couldn't stop eating it all at once! The yuba rice, which I tried for the first time, was a dish I would love to eat every day. With each bite, my body felt nourished and happy. One thing that caught my attention was that the staff seemed to be in a hurry. They were rushing to serve the next customers due to the busy crowd, and while I understand the situation, I wished for a more relaxed atmosphere to enjoy the delicious food. Overall, I was completely satisfied with the food!

I arrived at the restaurant around 1 pm on Saturday. About 30% of the seats were already taken. I ordered the Kyoto Yuba Zen course for 2100 yen, which included a variety of dishes such as simmered yuba, two-colored nama-fu, yudofu, yuba tempura, yuba gratin, and white miso soup with yuba rice. The meal started with tea and soy milk, which had a rich soybean flavor. Each dish was carefully prepared and showed a lot of attention to detail. My favorite was the yuba gratin, which was heated at the table with a candle and had a deliciously melted cheese topping. The yuba rice dish was also exceptional, with a silky smooth sauce that had a nostalgic taste. I had a bit of trouble finding the restaurant as it was tucked away, and there were some places where photography was not allowed. It felt like a hidden gem known only to a few. The staff were friendly and provided detailed explanations of each dish. I will definitely visit again when I'm in Kyoto.

Before going to Ginkaku-ji Temple, we stopped by this restaurant. My friend said, "Since we're in Kyoto, I want to eat yuba!" so we chose this place. It was a Sunday afternoon, but surprisingly the restaurant was not crowded. The set meal we ordered this time was delicious, especially the nama-fu no dengaku (grilled wheat gluten). The soy milk served before the meal was rich and different from the soy milk I usually drink. For those looking for yuba dishes in the city of Kyoto, definitely check this place out.

Near Ginkaku-ji Temple, there is a shop that serves yuba (tofu skin). I had made a reservation so I was seated right away, but there was quite a line outside the shop. I ordered the Kyoto Yuba Set meal that I had reserved. First, a plate of three kinds of yuba, nama-fu (wheat gluten) dengaku, yuba-wrapped fried dish, and tempura were brought to me. The thick and chewy yuba had a simple and delicious flavor. The nama-fu dengaku was also chewy and tasty! The red bell pepper, eggplant, and pumpkin tempura were sweet and crispy. The yuba gratin was incredibly delicious! It was creamy and rich, similar to a tofu gratin, and paired perfectly with the rice. The white miso soup and yuba-covered rice were comforting and delicious. The staff at the shop were friendly, and I definitely want to go back again!

Located near the Sho Museum, which is associated with the mausoleum of Kitashirakawa, the wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, is Higashiyama Hanashobu, a tofu restaurant specializing in yuba dishes. My wife and I visited here during our trip to Kyoto. We arrived in Kyoto early in the morning after leaving Tokyo and visited Kiyomizu-dera before walking along Sannen-zaka and Ninen-zaka towards the area near Higashiyama Hanashobu. We made a reservation over the phone using a coupon from Tabelog, which promised a complimentary serving of homemade fresh soy milk. We ordered the Kyoto Yuba Zen set meal, which seemed to offer the most yuba, a specialty tofu product, among the menu options. First, we were served the homemade fresh soy milk, which had a refreshing taste. Then, a platter of assorted homemade yuba, yuba tempura rice bowl, and shrimp and vegetable tempura set meal arrived. The yuba gratin, cooked using solid fuel right in front of us, was also served. Additionally, we enjoyed the two-color nama-fu (wheat gluten) and miso dengaku, a dish with flavorful miso paste on chewy nama-fu. The yuba gratin had a rich and delicious taste, almost like a tofu fondue with shrimp and yuba. It was perfect for dipping bread. Lastly, we were served the famous creamy yuba rice bowl and white miso soup. The rice had a hint of ginger, adding a spicy kick. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience!

Located around the middle of the path between Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomizu-dera, this Kyoto Yuba specialty shop caught my attention after seeing the autumn leaves light-up at Kodai-ji Temple. I ordered the Kyoto Yuba set meal, which uses homemade Kyoto fresh Yuba. The menu includes Yuba with three types of sauce, Yuba gratin, Yuba rice bowl, Yuba-wrapped nama-fu, Yuba tempura, and miso soup. The Yuba here is taken from before the soy milk solidifies, giving it a creamy texture and rich flavor. Despite the image of Kyoto cuisine being light in flavor, the dashi in these dishes was delicious. The Yuba rice bowl was particularly outstanding, with the creamy Yuba complementing the savory sauce and ginger accent perfectly. I visited on a weekday and by 7 pm, the place was full, so I recommend making a reservation if you prefer to avoid waiting. I thoroughly enjoyed the Kyoto cuisine here and would love to visit again when in Kyoto. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Today (10/27), my sister and I went on a day trip to Kyoto as our schedules matched. We went to a rental kimono shop and had our hair set before strolling around together. Our first stop was at Kodai-ji Hashiba-san. We had reserved the most popular Kyoto Yuba meal. After undergoing alcohol disinfection and temperature checks at the entrance, we were shown to our seats. The staff told us, "If you sit next to each other, you can see the view outside," and when we looked up, we saw Yasaka Pagoda right in front of us ＼(◎o◎)／! It was a fantastic view. I didn't take photos as there were other customers dining, but if it had just been the two of us, I would have definitely snapped some pictures. The Kyoto Yuba meal we reserved was really delicious (^o^). We also had homemade soy milk, fried Yuba pouches, two-color Agé-Fu, Yuba with three types of sauces, Kyoto white miso soup, Yuba rice bowl, Yuba gratin, and homemade shichimi togarashi kombu. The meal cost 2,200 yen including tax and was cash only. We enjoyed the Kyoto Yuba dishes while admiring Yasaka Pagoda, and it was just the right amount of food. If I have the chance to go again, I would love to try other dishes as well. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal♪

Hello! This time, I would like to introduce Hashiba-san, a restaurant near Kodai-ji Temple that I visited last December. Located a 20-minute walk from Gion-Shijo Station on the Keihan Line, this restaurant is situated in the middle of the stone-paved path leading from Kiyomizu-dera to Maruyama Park, within the grounds of Entokuin Temple, a sub-temple of Kodai-ji Temple. You can enjoy the taste of Kyoto, including an arrangement of Hideyoshi's "camp bento" and plenty of homemade Kyoto-style yuba, in harmony with the four seasons. This time, I had the Yudofu (tofu hot pot) and the famous Yuba Rice Bowl (tax included 2200 yen). The menu included a platter of three kinds of yuba, Yudofu, white miso soup wrapped in yuba, deep-fried yuba, and Yuba Rice Bowl with dashi broth. Everything was delicious, and I could see the five-story pagoda from inside the restaurant, which added to the atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and easy to talk to. I would like to visit again in the future.

【2020.11.28】Dinner at Tofuku-ji Temple. If you end up driving, your options are limited to fast food like McDonald's or beef bowl. (laughs) Despite being reasonably priced, the food was delicious.♪♪ This area has a lot of shops related to Hideyoshi, with a BGM of mostly Chopin's ballads and Nocturnes playing in the background. Well, anything is fine. By the way, there are records that Hideyoshi used to listen to classical music occasionally. ●Ordered Yudofu (hot tofu) and Yuba rice for 2,200 yen (including tax). Thank you for the meal.

It's an elegant Kyoto-style shop. The location is great as you can see a lovely view of Kyoto from the window. I had the yuba set meal while looking at Yasaka Pagoda. It was chewy and very delicious! I didn't expect to get such high-quality yuba at this price. Thank you for the meal.

Kyoto Yuba Meal - 2,200 yen For lunch in Kyoto, I went to Gion Higashiyama to try Yuba cuisine. I didn't make a reservation but managed to get a seat. The meal includes various delicious Yuba dishes. Especially the Yuba gratin and Yuba tempura are amazing! The Yuba in the gratin combined with the white sauce is even better than macaroni. The Yuba tempura has a chewy inside and a crispy outside that pairs perfectly with the filling! I am very satisfied.

I have arrived in Kyoto. At this time of year, Kodai-ji Temple offers night-time viewing. I have been there a few times, and the illuminated garden and bamboo forest are beautiful. Similarly, Entoku-in Temple also offers special night-time viewing under the theme of "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons". At Kodai-ji Temple, you can have dinner during the special night-time viewing at Entoku-in Temple. When paying the bill, you can inform them that you want to visit Entoku-in Temple for the night-time viewing, and they will contact the temple for you. Let's start with dinner. Reservations are required in advance. Arrive at the restaurant at opening time and take your seat. From the window, you can see Yasaka Pagoda in the distance. Both my wife and I ordered the Kyoto Yuba Zen set meal, with Yuba hot pot as an addition. If you mention that you saw them on "Tabelog" when making the reservation, you will receive a serving of homemade fresh soy milk. It is a refreshing soy milk. The Yuba dishes arrive. There are two-color Fu dango, fried Yuba, scooped Yuba, Yuba gratin, white miso soup, Yuba on rice, and eggplant. A feast of Yuba dishes. The specialty seems to be the Yuba gratin, with an interesting taste from the cheese. The Yuba on rice has a delicious combination of Yuba and sauce. And of course, the white miso soup is a must in Kyoto. It is a delicious combination. The Yuba hot pot was a bit too hot to eat, but the flavor of the Yuba was delicious. Now, let's head to Entoku-in Temple for the night-time viewing. When you inform them at the restaurant, they will contact Entoku-in Temple for you, and you will be guided there immediately at the temple reception. The restroom is located outside the restaurant, along with the art museum. You will receive a coin at the restaurant to access the restroom through the gate. Perhaps it is a measure for inbound tourists. I enjoyed the delicious Yuba. Thank you for the meal.

On May 2nd, I made a reservation for four women at a restaurant that was only open at night during the light-up event at Kodai-ji Temple. We were all amazed by the Yuba (tofu skin) dishes. From the first soy milk drink to the surprising Yuba in various dishes like Yuba gratin, it was a healthy and delicious dinner. The hospitality of the staff was also very warm and welcoming, making it a great dining experience. I definitely want to visit again.

The food was delicious, and the staff were friendly, creating a lovely atmosphere. As other reviews mentioned, the gratin was surprisingly delicious.

This restaurant has a nice atmosphere and you can enjoy yuba and tofu dishes while looking at the picturesque scenery. The gratin was the most delicious!

This is a restaurant known for its delicious yuba dishes. It is located right near Kodai-ji Temple and is often used for tea ceremonies at the temple.
