Kyoto, at Toji Temple for work, the weather is nice and warm, spring is definitely approaching. Today's lunch was at Jun Tofu Taiko, a place I had been eyeing since looking for Nabezen and Seikaen. With 2 staff members inside, I wasn't sure what to order so I went for the Mini Sundubu with the Chumolappa lunch set. When I asked what Chumolappa was, I was told it's Korean-style rice balls. The food arrived in about 12 minutes, and wow, the portion was huge! The menu was illustrated, so I was overwhelmed by the amount of food in front of me. Chumolappa came with 4 pieces, bean sprout namul, cabbage kimchi, 2 Yangnyeom chicken pieces, boiled egg, and for some reason, a octopus wiener! And a mini Jun tofu. This lunch set had one of the largest portions I've ever had. First, I tried the Yangnyeom chicken, it was my first time and it was delicious! Really delicious! I already love it. The Chumolappa was lightly seasoned, and there were 4 of them. The Jun tofu was magma-colored but not spicy at all, incredibly delicious! It might be the most delicious Sundubu I've ever had! The soup was irresistible, with a hint of sourness that I love. I couldn't finish it before my lunch break ended, but I really enjoyed it. I received a coupon for Sundubu, so I'm very satisfied. I will definitely come back, and next time I want to try the Sundubu as the main dish. Highly recommended! Thank you for the meal! Jun Tofu Taiko.

I had the quick course for one person and enjoyed 30 minutes of all-you-can-drink. The interior of the restaurant was clean and the manager's attentive service made it very comfortable. The kimchi and yangnyeom chicken in the course were delicious, and the highball was great! The sundubu, which was highly rated in reviews, was unexpectedly flavorful with a sweet undertone.

I had lunch here today⭐️ From the lunch menu: - Sundubu jjigae with beef tendons - 1080 yen - Sundubu jjigae with intestines - 1100 yen - Yangnyeom chicken - 440 yen - Draft beer Luckily, there was an available table seat⭐️ The bubbling Sundubu jjigae looks delicious✨ It's not as spicy as it looks, but I still sweat a bit^^;; The Yangnyeom chicken... doesn't really suit my taste⤵... There's quite a lot of rice... The image shows the rice from the lunch menu set... It's hard to know what a regular portion is like at a new place... The green onion kimchi was delicious though❣❣ The rest was a bit bland... Thank you for the meal(^人^)

The hot and bubbling pure tofu is served like magma. It's not spicy and easy to eat. The rice comes in a generous portion, so I'll order less next time (lol). The rice was a bit dry? Maybe it's because of the soup with the pure tofu? The kimchi was delicious, but I thought the namul was a bit bland.

Every time I head to Kyoto Station, I always noticed this shop from the bus window and finally decided to try it out. The food was delicious as expected. The signature Sundubu was excellent, the loaded Jeon was flavorful, and the Bibimbap had a light and refreshing taste. Overall, the dishes were perfectly seasoned, and I look forward to trying out other menu items in the future. There are so many great restaurants in Higashiyama!

You can walk from Kyoto Station. The shop has a clean atmosphere and the staff are brisk. I ordered the spicy pure tofu stew with tendon and cheese topping. It was served piping hot after a 5-minute wait. It's perfect for the upcoming season. I knew it would be delicious even before eating it. If there was a shop like this nearby, I would go twice a week.

We were welcomed with a loud voice. The menu has been revamped based on reviews. The Sundubu arrived piping hot. It came with rice, but surprisingly no kimchi, which was a change. The condiments on the table were a nice touch, and the piping hot dish was the best part. The bill included tax, which was the most pleasant surprise.

We suddenly had guests and decided to have dinner in Kyoto. We were hesitant about choosing a restaurant as we don't often go to Kyoto Station, but we relied on Tabelog and ended up at Jun Tofu Taiko. You can get there by going straight ahead on the road in front of Kyoto Tower after exiting Kyoto Station and turning left. The area around the restaurant feels a bit quiet, but the restaurant itself is simple and clean. The menu was limited for quick service, but the four of us girls enjoyed sharing the Cheese Dakgalbi as our main dish. It was loaded with cheese and tasted rich and delicious!

I wanted to warm up my body, so I chose the seafood tofu stew. It came out bubbling hot, but the tofu itself wasn't too hot. The soup was boiling hot, which was great. Despite looking very spicy, the dish was actually quite mild, probably due to the abundance of seafood. I'm curious about trying other menu items next time. Thank you for the meal!

It's within walking distance from Kyoto Station. I was surprised to find a restaurant here, on the first floor of an apartment building. The staff, who was working alone, was handling everything - serving, cooking, and cashiering. Despite being busy with customers coming in one after another, they worked efficiently. The hot Sundubu jjigae was delicious, and they mentioned that they could adjust the spiciness. It came with rice and kimchi. I enjoyed my meal while wearing a paper apron. It was a shame that smoking was allowed.

On Monday at 19:20, I visited Jun Tofu Taiko-san, a Go To Eat participating restaurant that I had made a reservation for. I arrived a little early before the reservation time, but had no problem entering the restaurant. There were no other customers, and I was seated at a table for two. I was given a wet towel and asked for my drink order. Since I was alone, I was asked if I wanted ice water, which I requested. The Sundubu was discounted from 890 yen to 500 yen for a limited time (only for solo female customers), so I decided to try it. It must be a special dish since it's in the restaurant's name. I couldn't miss it. I was given a paper apron and the Sundubu dish with a tube of Kochijang was placed on the table before the lady (presumably the wife) went back to the kitchen. The man (presumably the husband) seemed to be in charge of cooking. At 19:28, the magma-like Sundubu arrived. I was a bit worried it might be too spicy, but it turned out to be enjoyable. It was not overly spicy, and the umami flavor of the ingredients made it taste like a regular soup. The hot soup with tofu was satisfying. It was lucky to have gotten it at a discounted price. At 19:30, the Bibimbap also arrived. It was quite a large portion, and I thought it might be too much for me, but I managed to finish it. It had plenty of vegetables and was delicious and easy to eat. Later, three women and a couple arrived, making me think that it might be popular among women. When I asked about parking for bikes or bicycles, I was told that it was fine to park them in front of the restaurant if needed. This might make it easier for me to visit again.

I went out to eat using GOTO. The restaurant is newly opened, so it is very clean. They seem to specialize in Sundubu, and there were many types to choose from, all of them really delicious! It's perfect for the winter season. The Yamnyeon Chicken also has just the right amount of spiciness to stimulate your appetite.

Taro and cheese pancake ◎ The cheese on the surface is crispy and fragrant, while the inside with taro is thick and gooey. YannYom Chicken ⦿ It's a bit too spicy for my sensitive stomach, so I can only eat a little bit, but it's delicious with its sweet and savory flavor. Bibim Cold Noodles ○ The thin black noodles have just the right amount of acidity, and despite its appearance, it's not too spicy. The finishing touch with a light and warm tea, maybe oolong? They have dishes for two people and not many non-spicy options, but the fruity drinks are a nice touch. The wide table spacing is particularly appreciated now. The restaurant seems to have opened three months ago, and the interior is clean.

I went to "Juntoufu Taikoku" located a short distance from Kyoto Station. Seafood Sundubu 1080 yen, Butter 80 yen, Assorted Kimchi 3 types 700 yen, Bean Sprout Namul 350 yen, Yam Cheese Jeon 950 yen, Sundubu Ramen 900 yen, Plain Macori Pot 1500 yen. I topped the Seafood Sundubu with butter, making it very mild. It was delicious, but I wanted to taste the spiciness of the original Sundubu, so I ordered Sundubu Ramen as a finish, but it lacked flavor. The delicious dishes were the Yam Cheese Jeon and Kimchi.

[Visit on February 24, 2020] Opened on January 29, 2020! We decided to check out this new restaurant! The makgeolli and all the dishes were generous in portion and had great value for money. Highly recommend the fried chicken. It was crispy and the texture of the crunchy and fragrant coating was addictive. The chicken was juicy and delicious! Yum! - Fried Chicken: 560 yen - Assorted Namul (3 types): 700 yen - Miso Marinated Tendon: 520 yen - Kalbi Tankuppa: 870 yen - Stone Pot Bibimbap: 980 yen - Sundubu Jjigae: 890 yen Junmame Tofu Taiko (Fried Chicken, Namul) 075-585-5357 Kyoto, Kyoto City, Shimogyo-ku, Uenomachi 14-2, Sunei Public Housing, Building 61, Room 103 https://tabelog.com/kyoto/A2601/A260101/26033859/

I went around 1 pm on Saturday and was able to enter without waiting in line. I recommend the Sundubu and Bibimbap set for around 1,800 yen. I didn't know Sundubu could be this delicious. The Naengmyeon (cold noodles) is also recommended!

I searched for restaurants in Kyoto where I could use my T-point, made a reservation, and went to try it out! I received a special set for reservations, and it was incredibly generous in portion size! The kimchi and namul served as appetizers were enough for one person each! They were delicious and satisfying to eat. The yangnyeom chicken was so tasty that I wanted to have seconds! The sundubu looked too spicy at first glance, but it turned out to be mild and easy to eat, with a delicious level of spiciness. It warmed both my heart and body. The staff at the restaurant were friendly and wonderful, and I would definitely want to visit again when I come back to Kyoto!

Yannnyom Chicken, Sundubu, Cheese Tteokgalbi! It was delicious!!

I once visited this restaurant with my family. We had the yam cheese jeon and sundubu, which were very reasonably priced and not too spicy, so even people who don't like spicy food could enjoy them! The atmosphere inside the restaurant was open and the owner was friendly, providing excellent service. We had a great time there!
