2023.11.25
Found near Kenninji Temple in Kyoto! Yuba Cuisine Higashiyama Yudou, using soybeans grown in Miyama.
［Located a 4-minute walk east of Kenninji Temple, just before the Higashiyama Yasui intersection, is the directly managed store of Miyama Yuba Yumame, which wholesales yuba to famous ryotei (Japanese-style restaurants) and other establishments. The shop is located in Gion, which is famous for its sightseeing spots, and offers yuba made from soybeans grown in Miyama.
The lunch menu, which features original dishes such as multi-layered Yuba Tofu and thickly pumped Yuba, is a coexistence of the ideas of the chef, who is a dedicated Japanese cuisine chef, and the chef, who has a background in Italian cuisine.
Chef Toshihisa Tsuda (left) was born in Ehime Prefecture. He trained at a hotel in Ehime and a ryotei in Kyoto, and gained experience at hotels and ryotei in Mie, Shiga, and other prefectures before becoming the head chef at [Yuba Cuisine Higashiyama Yumame]. Chef Motonori Kuwasaki (right) was born in Kyoto. ［He trained at Italian restaurants in Kyoto such as Orto and Tatezan, and worked as the head chef at Yamakoya Sakebou milliman before assuming his current position.
They propose new charms of yuba, such as combining salmon with pumped yuba and soy sauce malt, or using soy milk as a dressing for a cured ham salad. The yuba dishes, with their rich soy flavor and sweetness, are sure to please friends and family visiting Kyoto.
The 3,600 yen Umi-no-zen comes with a main dish of seafood yuba with mushroom sauce, a side dish of yuba, yuba rice, salad, miso soup, and other dishes.
Chef's idea for the main dish: Bean-curd soup with hot bean paste and yuba
One of the main dishes of choice: roast beef from Tamba Beef. Cabbage and yuba (bean curd) for garnish.
