Great place to have lunch after visiting the nearby Arashimaya Bamboo Forest. They specialise in tofu dishes and for beginners like me, there are set meals to order from. Fresh tofu and vegetables are prepared in various ways but the main dish is the soup and broth for the tofu. I recommend to take the soy soup base tofu set meal. The soup is wickedly nice and the tofu is soft and delicious. Probably not for meat lovers as there are really no meat on the menu, so I did feel a bit "empty" despite being full.

We saw a long queue at this restaurant on the way to Arashiyama bamboo forest and decided to join the lunch crowd. After half an hour,we were seated upstairs with a nice window seats. We order a soy milk tofu set and one with a thickened soup set. The thickened soup was very starchy but the tofu was silky and delicious.I would recommend the dishes with soy milk or clear soup. If you enjoy tofu dishes, this is a must try.

Japanese traditional restaurant on tatami mats. Cook your tofu and vegetables in your table hot pot. Staff is friendly and speaks some English. We had lunch and the portions were very good. Many different flavors of tofu available. The Tempura was very good as well. Alcohol available and ice cream dessert too. Reasonable prices.

I had a lovely tofu lunch after getting blissfully lost in the area. It was beautiful and delicious.

I try to be an adventurous eater, but I have to admit it was tough to finish most of the dishes from the set meal. Out of the 10 or so dishes, I enjoyed maybe 2 of them and the rest were either not that flavorful or were just downright bad. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. Anyway, not going back!
