Lonely Planet review for Yōshūji
Yōshūji serves superb shōjin ryōri in a delightful old Japanese farmhouse with an irori (open hearth). The house special, a sumptuous selection of vegetarian dishes served in red lacquered bowls, is called kurama-yama shōjin zen (¥2500). If you’re just wanting a quick bite, try the uzu-soba ( soba topped with mountain vegetables; ¥1050). It’s halfway up the steps leading to the main gate of Kurama-dera; look for the orange lanterns out the front.
