Here you can enjoy seasonal tofu dishes while looking at the Kamogawa river. One of the popular dishes is the kaiseki (Japanese course menu with many small dishes) cuisine limited to lunch time and changing every season. During summer, a terrace called "kawayuka" is extended above the river, so that you can feel the season even better while you dine.
