Yudofu Takemuraのお料理

Gentle flavor of tofu

Using traditional Morika Tofu's cotton tofu, the signature dish is yudofu (simmered tofu) made with a secret dashi broth extracted from Hokkaido kelp and katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) from Makurazaki, Kagoshima. The tofu is simmered to the perfect tenderness, offering a melt-in-your-mouth smoothness that harmonizes exquisitely with the savory flavor of the dashi soy sauce. In addition to sesame tofu, agedashi (deep-fried) tofu, and tempura, a variety of Japanese small dishes centered on tofu can be enjoyed, allowing you to savor the tofu’s inherently gentle flavor.

Established in 1962, a long-established tofu shop in Arashiyama

Founded in 1962, this long-established shop has operated for many years in Kyoto Arashiyama as a specialty tofu cuisine restaurant. For more than half a century since its founding, it has continued to preserve the unchanged taste of "yudofu" (hot tofu). Its historic appearance, which blends naturally with the atmosphere of Arashiyama as a tourist destination, is one of its charms.
