This place opens at 11am and there was already a queue when we reached at 1045. We were seated after a short wait and ordered sets with tofu and soba using the english menu. Both the soba and tofu were delightful. Besides tofu, expect other bean products like soy milk and beancurd skin, which were tasty as well.

Recommend to go slightly earlier to avoid the crowd and make a reservation if possible!

The restaurant was easy to find. They have a Tofu and soba restaurant within the place. You have to get a queue from the counter and since we had to wait for 40 mins, we decided to walk around the area and come back later. It is a no shoe restaurant and there are lockers available. We did not get the best seat (overlooking the bridge) but still enjoyed our meal. Soba was nice and I liked dipping the tempura into the matcha salt. Tofu was fresh and boiled in a gas stove which will be brought to you. The ambience was great especially on a rainy spring day and service was good too, staff were very polite.

The complex consists of a soba restaurant n tofu house. If one is full house, you will be guided to another one. Good soba food as they served handmade soba noodles using Japanese ingredients. Tofu products are OK but soba is relatively better. English menu is available and you can choose their set course which I think would be better.

A traditional soba house with amazing views of the river at Arashiyama. The staff were very nice and there was no problems communicating in English. They even gave us instructions about the correct way to eat the soba! It was a very aesthetic experience and I'll be sure to go again if I ever visit the area in the future.

On our trip to Japan in May we stopped at this restaurant mostly because of its name lol as my best friends last name is Yoshimura. We were pleasantly surprised when the atmosphere was very traditional and relaxing. The food was wonderful and soba ice cream was delicious!!
