On Kyōmachi covered arcade near the station, this renowned tofu shop has been in business since the Edo period and serves refined kaiseki, starring tofu plus other seasonal specialities, around a 10-seat counter in its jewel box of a back room. Soft, warm, fresh – this is tofu as good as it gets.
Reservations are essential for kaiseki, or stop by to taste a scoop of the fresh, creamy tofu (called zarudōfu; top it with the lightest sprinkle of salt or a drop of soy sauce) or a cup of tōnyū (soy milk) for ¥100, or try frozen tofu 'soft cream' for ¥300.
