What travelers say:
Nanchan Temple Shunzheng, didn't make a reservation, came here to try my luck, there are nice seats
Ordered the snow, moon, and flower set meal, and also ordered a few dishes and draft beer
In the set meal, you can choose tofu skin or soup tofu, I ordered both, and the tofu skin tasted better, you can scoop it yourself. I tried Kyoto cuisine tofu both times I came to Kyoto, and both were pretty good.
The courtyard is very beautiful, with fallen maple leaves on the ground. I suggest you take a walk around the courtyard after dinner.

If you want to eat tofu in Kyoto, you should go to Shunzheng near the entrance of Nanzenji Temple. Their signature soup tofu is too bland, and the tofu bowl is the best! In fact, the tofu itself is not that amazing, but it wins in the details. The fried tofu cooked in kelp is wrapped with ginkgo nuts, the yuzu tea soy milk is buried with candied fruit, the rice is full of the aroma of tofu and broth, and the courtyard is also beautiful!
Shunzheng Japanese Restaurant in Nanchan Temple is an old restaurant with a history of more than 100 years. It is decorated with a Japanese-style courtyard design, which looks very beautiful and unique. The Japanese cuisine made here is also uniquely conceived and very exquisite. You can feel the chef's dedication and concentration, and the taste is really good.
General comment: Kyoto's tofu is very famous, it is one of the must-check foods. And Shunzheng, as a century-old shop specializing in tofu, choose it as a representative to try it, very appropriate! The restaurant has its own courtyard, very beautiful and exquisite, there is a gift shop selling souvenirs at the door, there is a comprehensive food and buy. The tofu meal is mainly light taste, not much amazing taste, but it is good to taste. The set meal is very exquisite, the photos are very good, and the price is not expensive. Rating: 80 points Cost-effective: ❤❤❤ I don't know why I chose the attraction of Nanchan Temple. Maybe it is just to eat tofu banquet and stroll around. In fact, there is no need to make an appointment. As long as it is not the right meal time, I think there should be no queue. We were afraid of queues, so we opened the door at 11 o'clock, and until we finished eating, the restaurant still had a lot of vacancies. The two people chose two different packages, which seemed to be a more signature style. If you don't know what to order, try them. [Yudofu HANA] 3090 yuan is a package to taste the original flavor of Kyoto tofu, because the pot is cooked in a large piece of white tofu. The soup is very light, there is almost no salt taste, it seems to have a suede aroma, maybe to remove the tofu tofu. It seems to be equipped with a pot of soy sauce, which can be used to mix tofu, but I think a bottle of old dry mother must be even better! There are also some small dishes of side dishes, such as: assorted tempura, kunbu soup, soy milk, leeks, roasted rice cake skewers, sesame tofu and the like. It's been a long time, I can't remember. Anyway, I think this package is too light, so it is boring. Because I am a heavy taste, I don't like this too light food. My favorite is the two skewers. I forgot whether it was tofu or rice cakes. Anyway, it tasted very fragrant and the taste was very tough. The sauce on the surface was burnt yellow. The soup base of the boiled tofu was not delicious, it was very close to the white water quality, and there was more musk and tofu. [TOFU BOWL SET] I like this set meal very much, mainly because the large bowl of tofu meat foam cover is delicious, the tofu is particularly delicate and smooth, more enjoyable than eating pudding. The meat stew is very finely chopped, fried very fragrant, and poured with thick and sticky rice cover juice. Wow, it's really delicious! Remember to mix well, tofu must be chopped with a spoon, the taste is so good that it is bursting, the taste is also warm and mellow, and it is unforgettable. There are also soy milk, cardamom, roasted goods, soybean kunbu boiled, Tianle, fragrance, etc. Anyway, the skewers are still delicious, very fragrant and chewy. Two set meals, the table is full, a small dish, especially well-behaved and exquisite, like the ritual sense of eating in Japan, less and more. It's just that washing dishes is very troublesome. After dinner, remember to go to the courtyard and then go to the small shop at the door to buy some souvenirs.
I booked this store in advance, but I went to other stores by mistake. Fortunately, I finally arrived at this store at the appointment time. The place where I entered the door was in a good environment. There were halls and boxes. It was mainly a banquet with tofu. Basically, it was in the form of a package. The main ingredients are tofu, which is made into a variety of food with tofu. The overall feeling is quite good.
When I came to Kyoto, in addition to matcha, the other thing that is quite famous is tofu cuisine. The water in Dongshan, Kyoto is weakly alkaline, which is very suitable for tofu, so the soup tofu here is the best tofu in Japan. "Shunzheng" is one of the three best old restaurants in Japan to eat soup tofu. The restaurant was founded in 1839 and has been located outside Nanchan Temple for more than 200 years. The tofu cuisine here is made with Kunbu Gao Tang. The tofu soup is tender and smooth, and has a strong soybean aroma. The special seasoning on the top is even more aromatic! The courtyard of Shunzheng is also very beautiful, the environment is quiet, dining here is definitely a dual enjoyment of taste and vision!
