Top tips

Ask about: cross-contamination

  • Try the make-your-own yuba set: heat the soy milk at the table and lift off the tofu skin as it forms.
  • Good to know: Strict vegans may want to ask how the vegetable tempura is prepared; one reviewer saw it fried with sardines.
All 4 tipsShow fewer
  • Ask staff for the vegan set and confirm sauces are made without fish; one review reports they switched to a konbu-based sauce and removed the prawn side dish.
  • Consider reserving or arriving outside peak times; reviewers report waits when busy.

About

Okabeya serves Kyoto-style tofu meals, including yudofu and a yuba set where you heat soy milk at the table and lift off the tofu skin as it forms. Tell the staff you’re vegan so they can guide you to an adjusted set; diners report konbu-based sauce and removal of the prawn side dish, with a spacious dining room and window views down the hill.
