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.
I queued for an hour to eat the famous Shunzheng Tofu Feast. It's not that this restaurant is a scam, because many locals are queuing to eat there; it's not that the tofu here is not delicious, it tastes good. But when we found out that several people spent 600 RMB to eat just a pot of boiled tofu, all of us were devastated... I thought that for such an expensive tofu feast, the tofu must taste special, but I tell you: it's just a piece of tofu! Tofu! For Chinese people, there is really no cost-effectiveness, because Chinese tofu is cheap and delicious, it's better to spend money to eat something else... The scenery in the courtyard of Shunzheng is very nice
This is a very old shop with a very quaint atmosphere. The price is slightly cheaper than the shop next to it. I like the tofu skin pot very much. It takes a long time to cook, but isn’t it also the fun of traveling to savor it slowly? By the way, Hattori also took Conan to taste the soup tofu in the maze crossroads. Although I don’t know which shop it is, I always feel that the soup tofu is very familiar.
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. Rating: 80 points 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.
Founded in 1834, with a long history of nearly 200 years, this is the most famous soup tofu restaurant in Kyoto, the main store of Junsho Nanzenji Temple. The garden landscape of Shunzheng's main store is very beautiful, and the dining atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. I strongly recommend the "Moon" set meal. The sweetness of the soup tofu is still deeply imprinted on the tip of the tongue...
