Came there for grabbing a lunch before catching the train. There are so many restaurants at that Kyoto station food court. It is very easy to find because it is the first restaurant you will hit around the food corner.
The main reason we picked this restaurant is because they are offering Kyoto special lunch food set.
Small restaurant, but pretty busy! We ordered no.1 lunch set which contains Kyoto seasonal special dishes. Dishes are small portion but a lot of varieties. I LOVE their tofu the best! That tofu is so soft and creamy, tastes like eating a cake! If possible, I will try their Kyoto tofu lunch set next time!

There are many dining spots in porta. It was 11:40, before noon on a weekday. However in front of popular diners many customers formed a long line. I don’t like a queue to eat or purchase something. I’m sorry to say it’s a waste of time. If there is no other choice, there is no help for it. But I don’t like to spend valuable time on forming a long line for only the reason that they are becoming boom.
I could enter here without waiting. I was shown to the counter seat. As this Japanese restaurant provides Japanese time-​honored delis called Obanzai, I ordered Tofu set meal with high expectation. It contains frozen bean curd called Koyadoufu, fried bean curd called Agedashidoufu, soy bean curd refuse called Okara, fluffy tofu called Oborodoufu, rice, miso soup, and pickles. They are very healthy cuisine, in addition use bean curd made in a famous Takao producer.
As a whole all the cuisines were light-​taste and portions were small. It costs 1280 yen. I think the dish and the pay were not balanced. Others broiled fish, fried tuna set menus, or a variety of fish donburi are provided, either of which is worth paying. The only dish I ordered was not reasonable.
I looked around the other customers, who ordered the menu except Tofu set meal. Considering too much, the Tofu menu are not elaborately made. Almost all of them are served as they are.
If you come here, you should choose fried tuna or other menus to satisfy your stomach.
