``Yudofu'' has been popular on the approach to Nanzenji Temple in Kyoto since ancient times.
Please enjoy our famous yudofu made with domestic soybeans that has a unique taste and is served with our special sauce.Junsho Shoin, a registered tangible cultural property of the country, was built in 1839, and the famous Kyoto entertainment area and strolling garden, which shows off its seasonal expressions, is a space where you can forget the hectic pace of everyday life.
This Junsho Shoin was also mentioned in the Kyoto guide book ``Hana Raku Meisho Zue'' at the end of the Edo period, and is now used as a Kyoto Kaiseki guest room.
In the Edo period Kyoto guidebook Hanaraku Scenic Views, it is written that ``Tangoya's yudofu is a specialty from ancient times, and travelers must try it...'' Around this time, Nanzenji's yudofu became a specialty. It turns out that it was.
At Junsei, you can enjoy flavorful tofu made with carefully selected domestic soybeans and a special yudofu sauce that brings out the full flavor.
