What customers say?

“ Absolutely loved our meal here. I love tofu, so naturally I had been wanting to try yuba and wow did they deliver an amazing meal. I’ll be dreaming off their food until we return again to Kyoto one day. Great atmosphere too. All in all, one of my favorite meals in Japan this trip. ”

“ Nice restaurant with possibility to taste yuba in different combinations. More like tasting experience as the set is small portions. Can add more sides if willing to get more food. Service is very nice and atmosphere as well. If you like natural tastes, especially yuba type, you will like this. Otherwise could be so so. ”

“ Excellent tasting menu, with a superb range of creative and unforgettable dishes. Service was great! Highly recommended. ”

- Tony Talhat -

“ We really enjoyed our dinner at this restaurant. We were impressed by the creativity and range of dishes featuring yuba. Sitting at the counter, we had a front-row view of the chefs’ impressive techniques and skills in action. We tried yuba prepared three different ways, each unique in both texture and flavor. The standout for us was the yuba custard—a beautiful fusion of French cooking and traditional yuba. We appreciated that the restaurant doesn’t rely solely on a set menu, unlike many others, and that it’s possible to order a la carte as well. But there was also a set course featuring salmon that looked incredible, and we would love to try it next time. ”

“ The foods were exquisite. I had a lunch course meal and everything in the course were delicious. Also ordered veg tempra, roast beef, and mapo yuba. All fantastic. Love that roast beef. If I lived in Kyoto, this place would be my regular spot for sure. Not to mention pricing was very reasonable and affordable. If you visit Gion, I highly recommed anyone to visit this place. ”

“ I just ate one of the best meals of my life!! I love yuba. Here the chef has many different ways of serving yuba, on its own, with fish, in Chinese dumplings, with meat…. It is a set menu and there are many courses, each one is inventive and delicious. If you eat here you will definitely enjoy flavours you have never had before. Please go! ”

“ Absolutely loved this modern twist on traditional yuba kaiseki! The vibe was relaxed and welcoming—not too formal—which made the whole experience feel comfortable and enjoyable. Each dish had its own unique flavor and style, and the variety was impressive for the price. Big bonus: the staff was super accommodating with a last-minute dietary request, which is pretty rare in Japan. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something thoughtful yet approachable! ”

- Sandra Lim -

“ My family walked in on a weekday and were fortunate enough to be able to experience the food at this restaurant! The food and service were both phenomenal and we got to try yuba in very special ways (including a very nice caprese and a churro form!). All the food was prepared and displayed in very artistic manner and in very beautiful dishes. We also enjoyed black bean tea. Overall 10/10 experience. ”
