About

Inside the Seiryō-ji temple grounds, Chikusen serves Kyoto-style tofu and yuba in preparations such as chilled tofu, bubbling broth, and tempura. An English menu and staff who can adapt some dishes make it a useful stop for vegan diners, though meals can run about ¥3,200–¥4,000 per person and one reviewer reported shared frying oil.
