Tofu restaurants in Kyoto

1. A Map

   Tōsuirō

   • Kyoto, Japan
   • Restaurants › Tofu

   We really like this tofu specialist. It’s got great traditional Japanese décor and in summer you can sit on the yuka (dining platform) outside with a view of the Kamo-gawa. You will most probably be amazed by the incredible variety of dishes that can be created with tofu. At lunch, the machiya-zen (tofu set; ¥2100) is highly recommended. At dinner, we suggest the Higashiyama tofu set (¥3675). Tōsuirō is at the end of an alley on the north side.

   Okutan

   • Kyoto, Japan
   • Restaurants › Tofu

   Just outside the precincts of Nanzen-ji, you’ll find Okutan, a restaurant inside the luxurious garden of Chōshō-in. This is a popular place that has specialised in vegetarian temple food for hundreds of years. Try a course of yudōfu together with vegetable side dishes (¥3000). It can get crowded here in the cherry-blossom and autumn-foliage seasons.

   Toyouke-Jaya

   • Kyoto, Japan
   • Restaurants › Tofu

   Locals line up for the tofu lunch sets at this famous restaurant across from Kitano Tenman-gū. Set meals start at ¥650 and usually include tofu, rice and miso soup. Problem is, it gets very crowded, especially when a market is on at the shrine. If you can get here when there’s no queue, pop in for a healthy meal.

   Yudōfu Sagano

   • Kyoto, Japan
   • Restaurants › Tofu

   This is a popular place to sample yudōfu. It’s fairly casual, with a spacious dining room. You can usually eat here without having to wait and there‘s both indoor and outdoor seating. Look for the old cartwheels outside.
