Authentic Japanese Yudoufu - Edit
We ate here five years ago the first time and coming back was just as magical as before. The staff is so welcoming and the place so peaceful. We had the Yudoufu set menu, where the tofu is cooked on the table in a big pot and comes with a side of rice, miso soup, pickled veggies and veggie tempura. All was so delicious and sitting on the floor cushion was just perfect. There is oolong tea served with the meal. We enjoyed coming here again especially after a long walk at the philosophers path.

Delicious and quiet - Edit
In a back alley close to Ginkaku-ji. The vegan set was delicious, the sesame tofu was really creamy and the tempura veggies were soft but crunchy outside. There is a possibility to sit on a tatami to eat in front of the garden and enjoy the view. The owner was very kind, and the non-vegan eater was also very satisfied (similar set but with shrimp tempura and scallop + a dessert).

Interesting tofu experience - Edit
Finally a truly vegan, traditional meal with tofu! My fav was the sesame tofu. The tempura was a little bit oily for me.

Great food and Japanese experience - Edit
My favourite Japanese food experience in Japan so far. Very understanding of vegan meals and I was surprised at how delicious it was. English menu and speaking helped make me feel comfortable with what I am eating. Food and experience made the price very reasonable.

Best Tofu ever!! - Edit
We ordered the vegan tofu set. It was all very traditional, including the Yudoufu. Everything was very good. We additionally had a plum wine, which was marvelous. A little bit pricey but totally worth it. A must-go if you want to experience something truly traditional.

Tofu heaven - Edit
We had the Tofu set and reassured that it’s vegan. It consisted of different Tofu types, Tempura veggies, rice and pickles. The price was a bit expensive but once we ate the tofu it was all worth it! The cold sesame tofu melted in our mouth and we enjoyed the food a lot. I know I will be dreaming of this delicious Tofu. Highly recommend!

Fresh Tofu option - Edit
This is a fine place to stop for lunch or dinner if you're walking along the Philosopher's Path. The set meals are reasonably priced, and the service is quick and friendly.
Read moreThe menu clearly indicates veg options, and there are several veg-friendly dishes, like miso -topped broiled tofu , on it .
Kisaki has a choice of tatami seating or western-style tables and chairs. We came for lunch, and ordered the boiled tofu set meal, which includes twig tea,rice, sesame tofu , a generous portion of hot fresh tofu , and veggie tempura. This is not gourmet food, but it was vegan. For a special tofu lunch or dinner, I recommend Tosuiro Gion, on Higashioji-dori, which has a multi course vegan meal (reserve one day in advance--English website).
If you're walking along the Philiopher's Path, this is a good spot to take a break and enjoy an unpretentious meal, with Kyoto's speciality, fresh tofu .
Pros: Fresh tofu, Reasonable price , Open for lunch and dinner, continuous service
