Kyoto, Japan｜Toyouke Chaya

This shop specializes in tofu and other soy dishes. I had the yudofu, which was very delicious. If you buy a set meal, you can try a lot of the soy products. It is well worth stopping here if you are visiting the nearby shrine. Just be sure to come early to get in before a line forms. This shop is very popular.

Absolutely high-quality tofu that is slightly softer than other kinds of tofu. Apparently there are two different Varieties in Kyoto. One is a bit harder the other one is a bit softer. And on the side street, all of the locals but tofu directly from the store. They don’t actually eat at this restaurant. Overall, a great place to visit, especially if you like tofu.

Be prepared for a long queue. We visited on Sunday around 13:00, and waiting outside for one hour, then got our meal around 14:30. However it is totally worth it. You won’t image how a simple Tofu can turn into such delicious dishes!
