This is one of the oldest, most authentic, and most delightful tofu restaurants in Kyoto. Founded about 350 years ago as a vegetarian restaurant serving Zen dishes to Buddhist monks, this thatched-roof wooden place in a peaceful setting with pond and garden serves just one thing: a tofu set meal (yudofu). Okutan is very simple and rustic, with seating either in tatami rooms or outdoors on cushioned platforms, making it especially delightful in fine weather. Women dressed in traditional rural clothing bring your food. The set meal, which changes slightly with the seasons, includes a pot of tofu boiled at your table, fried tofu on a stick, vegetable tempura, yam soup, and pickled vegetables. Highly recommended.
Yudofu set meal ¥3,000.
Open: Fri-Wed 10:30am-5pm (last order).
Reservations recommended.
Credit Cards: No credit cards.
Bus: 5 to Eikando-mae stop. Just north of Nanzenji Temple's main gate (the San Mon Gate).
