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 yudofu (tofu) set meal, a shrimp or vegetarian tempura teishoku and, in summer only, inexpensive noodle dishes ranging in price from ¥650 ($6.20) for somen (thin vermicelli served cold) to ¥800 ($7.60) for zarusoba (cold buckwheat noodles). 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).

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
