京都：名物・湯豆腐 / Kyoto's speciality - Simmered Tofu

僕は京都へ行った時、いろいろな観光名所以外、たくさんレストランは必ず行きます。例えば蕎麦の老舗「本家尾張屋」と。。。
Whenever I made a trip to Kyoto, besides paying a visit to some of the interesting sightseeing spots, there are a few restaurants that I would definitely be going. For example, the infamous 'Soba' restaurant 'Honke Owariya' and...

湯豆腐老舗「順正」です。
the infamous Simmered Tofu restaurant 'Junsei'.

以上は「順正」の湯豆腐コース「花」の写真です。

湯豆腐は店によって作り方と味が全然違います。
あそこの湯豆腐は昆布の痕跡を見なくて、柚子の皮が見られます。
豆腐は硬くならず、柔らかいです。味は浅いし、柚子の香があります。美味いです。
湯豆腐以外の材料も美味いです。ぜひ試してください。

(Grilled soy bean paste on tofu skewer).
Depending on the restaurant, the method that they are using to create a
pot of Simmered Tofu can varies.
As for this restaurant, you don't get to see traces of 'Konbu', but you will
be getting the skin of the 'Yuzu' floating in the pot of simmered tofu.
The simmered tofu isn't too hard and it's pretty soft. The taste of it
is pretty much tasteless but it does comes with the fragrance of the 'Yuzu'.
In other words, this dish is pretty delicious. :D
Besides for the simmered tofu, the other dishes are pretty nice too,
do give it a try. :D

あそこは美味い料理以外、素敵な庭もあります。
Besides for the delicious food that they are offering,
this restaurant also has a magnificent garden too.
