This restaurant specializing in tofu dishes opened in 1961, but the grounds and garden were originally part of a private institution established in the 1830s, during the shogun era. Although Junsei is tourist-oriented and popular with tour groups, the food is good and an English-language menu makes ordering easy. There are several buildings spread throughout the grounds, and what you want determines where you go; as soon as you arrive, you'll be given a menu and asked what you'll be eating. I chose the house specialty, a yudofu (tofu) set meal and was directed to an older building filled with antiques and tatami mats. My meal came with vegetable tempura and various tofu dishes, including fried tofu on a stick and tofu boiled in a pot at my table. Other set meals include kaiseki (by reservation only), shabu-shabu or sukiyaki (¥8,000), and obento box lunches (¥3,500 to ¥5,000). After your meal, be sure to take a stroll through the garden.
Tofu set meals ¥3,000-¥4,000; kaiseki set meals ¥10,000-¥20,000.
Open: Daily 11am-7:30pm (last order).
Reservations required only for kaiseki.
Credit Cards: AE, DC, JCB, MC, V.
Subway: Keage (8 min.). East of Shirakawa Dori on the road to Nanzenji Temple.
