Shoraian

Shoraian is a restaurant in a quiet mountain area at the edge of the river in Arashiyama, Kyoto, serving a tofu kaiseki course in which every dish is made from tofu. The main course is a tofu shabu-shabu in soy milk broth. Visiting without a reservation is difficult, so you must book by phone in advance, and it operates mainly at lunch. The walk from the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is long and passes over a hill and steep stairs.
