Saga Tofu Ine - 右京区

Visited here 3 times now and loved it every time. the available vegan set consists of 10 items and is served with tea and coffee, with other drinks to buy. They expect an amazing quality tofu and sweet hard! service is always so friendly and fast! great location and good value for money too. highly recommended.

We enjoyed our lunch at the saga tofu ine head store (there are two places in arashiyama.) I had the vegan set and my partner had a vegetarian set of their regular menu (not see, no meat on the menu, but saw eggs) it was delicious and healthy. many small dishes and dishes filled with various forms of tofu, tempura, rice cake, sauces and pickles. the yuba (tofu skin) was my favorite. beautiful and friendly service and delicious cold tea with refills. we were both very full of it. I would recommend this for a Japanese experience and the hours of the operation are very convenient as it will remain open later in the evening.

If you want to taste a traditional tofu menu, it is. the problem I had was the resistance of certain dishes, a lot to gooey for me. the vegetarian set was really good.

The way the meal is presented is so funny that the Yube is in a bamboo bowl, the yudoufu is heated with a small fire, etc. It is so different than what I am used to in the states! My favourite part of the meal had to be the sweet mochi

Of all the vegan-friendly restaurants I visited in Japan, this felt most Japanese - both on the basis of their traditional menu and clientele. They offer four set meal times - one of which is vegan. The vegan set came with a tofu soup, vegan tempura, tofu skin, steamed rice, pickled vegetables, a sesame and wasabi hearty and a mochi-like dessert. (I am almost sure to ignore these descriptions. Bottom line- it was delicious and I ended every scrap. Warning- they only accept cash.
