Experts' Choice Award Nanzenji Junsei
What the experts agree on
Nanzenji Junsei specializes in silky yudofu served kaiseki-style in an authentic Edo-period building with sculpted gardens. Expect tourist crowds, but the refined tofu experience and polished service justify the midrange price since 1961.
