Kisaki Yudoufu - Kyoto

We had the Tofu set and reassured that it’s vegan. It consisted of different Tofu types, Tempura veggies, rice and pickles. The price was a bit expensive but once we ate the tofu it was all worth it! The cold sesame tofu melted in our mouth and we enjoyed the food a lot. I know I will be dreaming of this delicious Tofu. Highly recommend!

This is a fine place to stop for lunch or dinner if you're walking along the Philosopher's Path. The set meals are reasonably priced, and the service is quick and friendly. The menu clearly indicates veg options, and there are several veg-friendly dishes, like miso -topped broiled tofu , on it . Kisaki has a choice of tatami seating or western-style tables and chairs. We came for lunch, and ordered the boiled tofu set meal, which includes twig tea,rice, sesame tofu , a generous portion of hot fresh tofu , and veggie tempura. This is not gourmet food, but it was vegan. For a special tofu lunch or dinner, I recommend Tosuiro Gion, on Higashioji-dori, which has a multi course vegan meal (reserve one day in advance--English website). If you're walking along the Philiopher's Path, this is a good spot to take a break and enjoy an unpretentious meal, with Kyoto's speciality, fresh tofu .

Lovely restaurant run by some very welcoming people. The signature dishes are some set menus combining various tempura with a dish of tofu you dip in a mix of soy sauce, ginger, spring onions and seaweed. Delicious, particularly for vegetarian customers. Furthermore, the restaurant is positioned between several nearby temples, making it an ideal stop for lunch or an early dinner. Please note that they appear to try to take the last orders of the day at around 6 PM.

The yuba with jelly dish is original and really good! Staff are friendly, and the view and the Japanese style are also great! It’s much better than what I had at another expensive restaurant near Kyoto station.

Great service and food. When I ordered the veg set (the one that doesn't include shrimp tempura), they asked if fish stock was okay and made everything vegan for me when I said no. Traditional atmosphere and everything tasted amazing! My husband (non-veg) also really enjoyed the food and experience. Highly recommend coming here for the food, but even better following a trip to Ginkakuji.
