It's so unusual to have a restaurant specialising in the humble tofu. The service was very good, the food was presented in a minimalist way with little tiny details in them. Tofu being tofu, the taste can be a little bland if you are not used to it. But they were so fresh, unlike the commercial ones which we see... More

A wonderful meal that happens to be mainly tofu - unique and delicious! It was like pulling teeth to get my husband to eat here, and fortunately he finally gave in. He did not think he was going to enjoy a tofu meal, nor did he think he would get filled up. It is a bit pricy (we spent almost... More

This is one of my favorites in Kyoto. The restaurant has, for Japanese standards, a very nice location, with a view of the Kamo river. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Making reservations in English is no problem whatsoever, and you feel like an old friend coming home... The food is great. Authenthic Kyoto style tofu, combined with vegetables and... More

We attended the Gion location of this restaurant and called 24 hours ahead so that I could get a fully vegetarian meal (my husband eats fish so he was fine). We loved being there, from the friendly greeting to the sweet staff to each beautiful and delicious tofu course. We struggled a little to communicate but the staff was so... More

This is an interesting restaurant. They offer several different set-course meals built around tofu. We picked the most basic of these (about 3800 Yen per diner). We got a series of very different and all individually interesting items containing differently flavored and presented tofu together with vegetables and (in one of them) sashimi. Although I found the food a bit... More

Being in Kyoto in summer time, you will probably want to escape the heat like me and what better way to do so than enjoying a gorgeous meal above the river Kamo in restaurant Tosuiro in the night gentle breeze ? I was recommended this place by Japanese friends who knew my craving for tofu and traditional cuisine. Tosuiro serves... More
