Restaurant Introduction
Tofu was introduced from China during the Nara period (710–794) and was used in temple vegetarian cuisine. During the Muromachi period (1336–1573), it spread beyond temple walls and became a common food. By the Edo period (1603–1868), records from that time indicate that "travelers visiting the temple must eat tofu soup," making it a specialty of Nanzen-ji Temple. At Junsei, you can savor the rich flavor of tofu made with domestically grown soybeans and the incredibly delicious special tofu soup sauce. Experience the natural sweetness of the tofu and the lingering bitterness of the soybeans. Junsei's tofu skin is made from homemade soy milk, a blend of high-sugar and high-protein varieties of domestically grown soybeans. Enjoy freshly made raw tofu skin, prepared by the guests themselves. This dish, known as Yudoufu, has a unique texture and rich soybean flavor and originated as a teahouse dish in front of Nanzen-ji Temple.
