Tofu lover this is your place 😋

We tried the seven different tofu menu wich includes rice and pickles and we really enjoyed it. It is a traditional way to try an amazing quality tofu cooked in different ways. The place is 100% Japanese style and the staff were super friendly. I highly recommend you to try it.

Pros: The seven tofu meal , The restaurant , The warm ambient

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 👀

Lovely place

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!

Cute place with all tofu based dishes

Super cute place run by 3 sweet old women. Lots of vegan options, I got the miso based tofu set. Yummy comforting food. I wish I discovered it sooner.

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.

Tofuist of the Tofu

Super friendly people running this place. The first thing they asked was if anyone in our party was vegetarian or vegan. Two of the options on the menu were actually vegan and they made sure that we received the correct plating. We had a lovely lunch here and I would definitely come back!

Very traditional and yummy

The whole experiece was delightful. The owners are two old japanese women, who are just lovely. They explained to us which dishes contained fish (dashi) and which were vegetarian/vegan. The restaurant is just beautiful and the food was very yummy.

Pros: Alot of vegan and vegetarian options

Cons: Some dishes contain fish (dashi)

So much tofu variety!

It was fun to try so many different types of tofu. I enjoyed some of them and was less keen on others but was excited to eat types of tofu I’d never seen before. It was surprisingly filling and the rice that came with the tofu was delicious. The women who served us were lovely and it was a great experience having lunch in a traditional old building in a historic district. I recommend the experience, but I probably wouldn’t eat here all the time as I like a bit more vegetable with my tofu...

For tofu lovers and tofu curious

Tofu is not really my favorite kind of dish, but we were agreeably surprised by this restaurant. Every kind of tofu is well thought, they have a large panel of taste. Also we would not eat there everyday, it was a pleasant experience.

(Visited in mid-october 2019)

Pros: Menu with several tofu dishea included

Cons: Tofu and only tofu

Traditional Taste

Was nice to taste so many kinds of tofu (I had the menu with the 7 diffrent ones)
I liked a lot that you don't have to choose a specific tofu, especially because I don't knew much about diffrent kinds, so it was very nice to taste the diffrent flavours.
I ate at an Temple later, zhe food from the buddhist monks was really equal to this restaurant so I really can recomment it for those who want to find out, how special they can combine diffrent heavy flavours with the decent taste of many kinds of tofu.

Pros: You don't have to choose- you taste diffrent types, Restaurant is in 'shop' district -good location

Cons: The opening times are not so comfortable

Delicious

If you love tofu, you are in the right place : you will eat only this! Very good and authentic meals, tasty and very different from one plate to another. You can also have cold or hot meals. They also offer green tea when you arrive.

Pros: Good location, Tasty, Authentic

Magical place

A unique experience in Takayama. The ladies cooking and serving are so kind and the tofu that we ate was so delicious. The place is located in the main touristic street so the building is a historical gem.

Pros: Authentic , Tasty, Welcoming

Cons: The name is not that visible and easy to find
