A long-established restaurant to savor the flavors of Kyoto
Gion Uemori is a traditional kaiseki restaurant that offers dishes that fully capture the seasons of Kyoto. Upon passing through the warm lattice door, you can enjoy your meal in a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The menu features an abundance of exquisite dishes, including yudofu (hot tofu) and yuba (tofu skin), each one leaving a lasting impression with its deliciousness.
[Evening] [Yudofu Kaiseki] Yudofu and Yuba Kaiseki (reservation required)
We use tofu from Saga Tofu "Morika" in Arashiyama, Kyoto. We serve not only Yudofu, but also Yuba (bean curd) with Sashimi or Ankake (starchy sauce). The various flavors and textures of the beans tickle the senses. Please enjoy the exquisite yudofu to your heart's content, along with a kaiseki dinner that lets you experience the changing seasons in the ancient capital.

We were expected, greeted warmly at the door, and sat at the counter. I wish I could attach pictures, as this eight-course kayseki was one of the most beautiful and tasteful meals I've had in my life. The chef was enjoyable to watch, as well - a master at work.
The entrance is quiet and discreet, typical of Gion, and the clean and tidy interior enhances the feeling of being in Kyoto, resulting in high satisfaction. The dishes are prepared with care and a sense of kindness, and they are all delicious. The yuba has a delightful and firm texture that is impressive! The single-serving hot pot with tofu was luxurious! I would like to visit again when I go to Kyoto.
This is a restaurant located in a corner of Gion, and I was lucky to be guided to a seat at the counter. Although the space was calm, I could still feel the activity of the restaurant. The meal was a kaiseki cuisine that reflected the season, and the sashimi and eight delicacies were particularly delicious. I was very full. Next time, I would like to try the tofu kaiseki.
My friend and I had a 7 course menu that was both interesting and delicious. We were seated in a room that looked out on a small, calming garden. The service was lovely, with explanations of the courses supplied verbally or in written form in English. The only issue was finding the restaurant. We used Google maps which took us to a number of restaurants around the corner from Kyoto Gion Uemori. I spoke to a super helpful gentleman in the Agnes B cafe nearby who kindly took us around the corner to the correct location.
I was able to eat various types of yuba, and they were all delicious and the best.
Despite being busy, the timing of the dishes being served was perfect, which was very surprising.
I didn't feel like I was being watched much, and I thought, as expected of a professional.
Gion Uemori exceeded our expectations. Great service, everyone working there was very friendly. The food was so fresh and delicious. This was definitely a unique experience, 10/10.
The tofu set I had is totally not worth the price. No skills at all just tofu with some sauce literally no cooking involved. If you have never had tofu perhaps you can try. But if you have had it and am not a crazy fan of this food, don’t waste your money on it.
