This place is a gem

Such a paradise for vegetarians and vegans as everything is made from tofu. I had yuba tofu teishoku and it was really tasty. The ladies there were super friendly. This place is located right on the busy street in Takayama old town but is suprisingly easy to be overlooked. I'm glad it exists.

Very good

Not a 100% veg restaurant despite the HC tag—some of the sets contain fish broth. Ask for the vegetarian menu which is clearly marked.

Great experience and yummy tofu

Lovely little place in the middle of the old part of Takayama. The place was busy but worth the wait. The three lady elders were busy cooking up different tofu’s. I had tofu 6 ways and they were all different wonderful flavours. I’d highly recommend this place.

Pros: Tofu many ways

Best Tofu Ever

Very lovely group of elderly women running this tofu-only restaurant. Having tea at the very beginning, theY have an english menu with the vast majority of options being able to be served vegetarian or vegan. It was very good-looking variants of tofu in many small plates. Especially nice was the tofu in warm soy milk with mushrooms.

Pros: Tofu in all variants, Freshness, Tea

Amazing!

An amazing, creative and delicious all tofu (plus rice) lunch. We got the largest set for 2500 yen. Excellent, friendly service as almost all Japanese restaurants have. A must-stop for lunch if you live tofu!

Buenísimo

Restaurante con varias opciones veganas y vegetarianas. En donde eliges varios menús con varios tipos y cocinados de tofu. Funciona como un menú degustación. La presentación y el sabor es increíble permitiendo probar muchas formas de cocinarlo y de sabores. Nos ha encantado.
El servicio es espectacular, ayudándote y aconsejándote siempre. Un diez a las señoras que trabajan allí.

Veggie & vegan friendly tofu restaurant

Had an extensive set menu but also à la carte options. Almost everything is veggie & vegan friendly and the lady asked if we were veggie/vegan to make sure our dietary needs were met. I tried some new tofu dishes, nice experience.

Cute and delicious

I had the yuba set meal and it was delicious. My son is non vegetarian and he hated his meal, so beware if you come with an omnivore.
The place is tiny and run by two old ladies. I really recommend!

Pros: The crunchy sweet tofu

A must-visit for vegans and vegetarians!

This restaurant is a hidden gem! It's located on a busy street in Takayama's historic district, however there is no obvious sign and the restaurant looks closed on the outside. The interior is peaceful and traditional. Once you enter, you will be welcomed by several very friendly Japanese ladies. The staff do not speak English, but they will provide an English menu upon request, with clearly marked vegetarian and vegan options. As a vegan, a restaurant specializing in tofu was a paradise! I ordered the 1,600-yen set which came with six different kinds of tofu (both soft and firm tofu, yuba, and even a type of crunchy, sweet tofu!), rice, and pickles. They also provided complimentary tea. All of the food was tasty and filling, and the price was very reasonable too.

Excellent restaurant de tofu ! 🤝

Un repas rempli de nouvelles saveurs avec du tofu cuisiné de multiples manières ! Le restaurant se situe dans une rue des plus touristique et pourtant, lorsque nous sommes rentrés à l'intérieur nous étions seuls. Une gentille dame nous a alors accueilli et présenté les options végétariennes et végétaliennes du menu. Je recommande 🤝

PS : Le tofu au sésame est le meilleur 👀

The nice lady asked me if I was vegan when handing me the menu and pointed out the vegan options for me. Everything was delicious. Tofu is truly one of the most versatile ingredients there is!

Tofu tofu tofu

When I said I was vegan the lovely lady pointed out the options for me. I think I had the boiled tofu with 3 pieces of tofu. It was interesting to try tofu in so many different ways but you need to like tofu - I could have taken or left the boiled tofu. Really generous portion and it's run by what looks like a group of female home cook friends. Enjoyed the experience.

Wholesome place, but pescetarian

You should announce on arrival if you're vegetarian/vegan. They do take this seriously. They told me the following dishes were suitable for a vegetarian and did not contain fish/dashi. You can cross check this to the menu photos. NB I would also ask whether the soy sauce contains dashi as this comes in certain dishes.

Yuba teishoku
Dengaku
Agedashi
Awayuki
Gomatofu
Hiyayakko

The restaurant itself had a lovely traditional vibe and was staffed with friendly and welcoming older ladies. There's also a tatami area if you prefer to sit here.

Pretty good value for what you get, and you are provided with complimentary matcha tea (I even got a refill!). The fried tofu (agedashi) was delicious.

It might be cash only. I didn't ask to use a credit card.
