🍜 Yuba Cuisine Higashiyama YUUZU

Higashiyama YUUZU (東山ゆう豆) is a specialty shop for tofu skin dishes located in the suburban area of Nantan, Miyama Town in Kyoto. It is directly operated by "Kyoto Miyama Yuba YUUZU," a traditional yuba workshop that grows its own soybeans. The Higashiyama store is situated in Gion, Kyoto, near Yasui North Gate Street, and is close to the Yasaka Shrine, affectionately nicknamed "Gion San" by locals. The exquisite yuba from Miyama is made using carefully selected Miyama soybeans and water from Miyama, and even top hotels and renowned restaurants come to purchase it. The unique fusion kaiseki cuisine, made with Miyama's yuba and seasonal ingredients, can only be tasted at Higashiyama YUUZU. For lunch, there are set meals composed of seasonal dishes and course options. For dinner, there are two types of yudofu (hot tofu) course meals: "Sasari" and "Miyama." The head chef, who has years of experience in a long-established restaurant, collaborates with a chef from Italy to give tofu skin a new charm, ensuring that even those trying tofu skin dishes for the first time will be pleasantly surprised. The interior features a refined style with a white wood theme.
