Frommer's Review

Convenient if you're visiting Nanzenji, this typical Japanese restaurant specializes in tofu dishes and tempura. With tatami seating, a miniature garden, a waterfall, and a carp-filled pond, it offers a tofu (yudofu) set meal, a shrimp or vegetarian tempura teishoku, and, in summer only, inexpensive noodle dishes ranging in price from ¥650 ($5.40/£2.70) for somen (thin vermicelli served cold) to ¥800 ($6.65/£3.35) for cold buckwheat noodles (zaru soba). You might also wish to try its desserts, including mitarashi dango (soy-flavored rice dumplings on a stick) and zensai-mochi (rice cake with black beans).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
