Tousuiro

If you think you know tofu, think again! The artisans at this branch of a famed Kyoto tofu restaurant chain do more with tofu than you’d have thought possible.

Hidden down a narrow allow off of Kiyamachi-dori, the lane that runs along the canal just west of the Kamo-gawa River, Tosuiro is a well-kept secret among Kyoto’s vegetarians and their bean-curd eating friends. The atmosphere is classically Kyoto and the food is divine. As far as we are concerned, it’s tofu kaiseki, because it consists of a flight of interesting dishes, each artfully presented. In summer, you might be lucky enough to grab a seat on the outside deck overlooking the Kamo-gawa River. Highly recommended!
