Gion Fukuju

Gion Fukuju is a restaurant in Gion, Kyoto that serves dishes made with seasonal ingredients. Its signature dish is house-made walnut tofu grilled crisp on both sides and topped with sea urchin, with a texture that is crisp outside and soft inside. The small space has only counter seats, and the owner cooks each plate in front of the guests. It sits in the back of the building's first floor, making it hard to find, and its Google Maps location differs from the actual restaurant.
