🍜 Shimizu Junsei OKABE family

Located along the approach to Kiyomizu-dera, this tofu shop boasts an excellent geographical position. Designed in the style of a traditional Kyoto machiya, it features spacious seating with accessibility considerations and includes a shop. One of the shop's highlights is its scenic view; the terrace, accessible via an outdoor staircase, overlooks the "Goryokaku" terrace and fountain, which is registered as tangible cultural property. Here, you can enjoy the famous yudofu (hot tofu) along with various tofu dishes. The yudofu is prepared in a way that enhances the natural sweetness of the tofu, and it is delicious when paired with a special yudofu sauce. Additionally, the tofu skin, which forms as a thin film when heating soy milk, is a must-try delicacy. Its subtle sweetness and unique texture, combined with the fun of personally scooping the tofu skin, create wonderful memories of your trip. Both yudofu and tofu skin are available in set meals. There are also options to choose either yudofu or tofu skin, paired with several Kyoto-style home-cooked side dishes. The menu includes both set meals and à la carte options, so feel free to choose based on the dining occasion.
