Yubasen

Food was very good - we chose it as we’re were staying at The Prince Takaragaike and it was walking distance. Imaginatively done , not overwhelming, but still could not finish everything. Food was fresh, we had the seasonal menu with 10 courses. People came in later than us - so they’re open later ...than I expected. Best of all, they take credit cards , though I’d read somewhere they did not. Just as well as our international card didn’t work at nearby ATM

I had never been to a restaurant specializing in Yuba dishes before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was certainly not disappointed. The Yuba (dried tofu skin), prepared in various forms, was delicate and tasty. The rest of the dishes also did not disappoint and the whole experience felt like... fine dining on a medium budget. Will definitely make my way there for a meal the next time I am in Kyoto.

Just walking around to find somewhere around the Kokisai Kaplan Station, we found Yubasen by chance. It was rather expensive than we budgeted but the decor and atmosphere were so attractive that we could not resist to enter. It was delighted surprise to find the restaurant. They had only set menu...s starting from 2,400 yen and up. From the beginning to the end, we simply enjoyed with different ways of cooking of yuba. Well recommended place to enjoy another Kyoto style dish. The restaurant takes only cash so this should be bit downside as it’s not fast food place.

A small restaurant focusing on Tofu (Yuba). The presentation was beautiful, the food absolutely delicious. The entire experience made it one of the best dinners I have had in years.
