Tousuiro specialises in yudofu and tofu kaiseki in an elegant minimalist interior on Karasuma-dori. The lunch sets are the best entry point: cold tofu with several dipping sauces and accompaniments, soft-set agedashi tofu, and finishing rice. The counter seating at the open kitchen is preferred by solo diners and small groups.
Kyoto tofu restaurants range enormously in price; Tousuiro occupies the mid-range between temple casual and high kaiseki, and the English menu makes ordering straightforward.
