Overall review:
Kyoto's tofu is very famous, and it is one of the must-visit delicacies.
As a century-old restaurant specializing in tofu, Shunzheng is chosen as a representative to try, which is very appropriate!
The restaurant has its own courtyard, which is very beautiful and exquisite. There is also a gift shop selling souvenirs at the door, which is very comprehensive.
The tofu meal is mainly light in taste, and there is no amazing taste, but it is still good to try.
The set meal is very exquisite, it looks good for photos, and the price is not expensive.

Value for money: ❤❤❤
I don't know why I chose Nanzenji as a tourist attraction. Maybe it's just to eat tofu feast and visit by the way.
In fact, you don't need to make an appointment. As long as you don't go there at the right time for dinner, I think there should be no queue.
We are afraid of queuing, so we opened at 11 o'clock and were at the door. Until we finished eating, there were still many empty seats in the restaurant.
The two chose two different set meals, which seem to be more signature styles. If you don't know what to order, try them too.
【Yudofu HANA】3090 yuan
This is a set meal that allows you to taste the original flavor of Kyoto tofu, because the casserole is filled with large chunks of white tofu.
The soup base is very light, with almost no saltiness, and seems to have the aroma of grapefruit peel, perhaps to remove the beany smell of tofu.
It seems that there is a pot of soy sauce, which can be used to mix tofu, but I think a bottle of Lao Gan Ma would definitely be better!
It also comes with some small side dishes, such as: assorted tempura, kelp soup, soy milk, pickles, grilled rice cake skewers, sesame tofu, etc.
It's been a while, and I don't remember it very well. Anyway, I think this set meal tastes too light, so it's very boring.
Because I have a heavy taste, I don't like this kind of light food.
My favorite is the two grilled skewers. I forgot whether it was grilled tofu or rice cakes. Anyway, it tastes very fragrant and has a very chewy texture.
The sauce that is grilled on the surface is very delicious.
The soup base for cooking tofu is not good either. It tastes very similar to plain water, with a little more grapefruit and tofu flavor.
【TOFU BOWL SET】2370 yen
I like this set meal very much, mainly because the big bowl of tofu and minced meat rice is delicious. The tofu is particularly delicate and smooth, which is more enjoyable than eating pudding. The minced meat is chopped very finely, fried very fragrantly, and poured with thick and sticky rice sauce.
Wow, it's really delicious! Remember to mix it well, and the tofu must be crushed with a spoon. The taste is so good, and the taste is also warm and mellow. It is unforgettable.
There are also soy milk, fermented black beans, grilled food, soybean kelp boiled, dengaku, fragrant food, etc.
Anyway, the grilled skewers are still very delicious, very fragrant and chewy.
Two sets of sets, the table is full, one small plate and one small plate, especially well-behaved and exquisite. I like the Japanese sense of ritual of eating, which is less but more refined. It's just that it's quite troublesome to wash the dishes.
After dinner, remember to take a walk in the courtyard and buy some souvenirs from the small shop at the door.
