Enjoying the nature of Arashiyama
Refined Tofu Kaiseki
Shoraian, located in Kyoto Arisayama, is a restaurant that serves seasonal tofu kaiseki. You can taste refined tofu dishes that contain the beauty of tradition using Saga tofu, which boasts a rich flavor and a clean aftertaste.
Thanks to the view of Arashiyama from the tatami room window, it is so popular that it is difficult to dine there without a reservation.

In the tranquility of Arashiyama
Tofu specialty restaurant 'Shoraian'
Located in Arashiyama, a must-visit spot for Kyoto travelers, Shoraian is a place where you can enjoy yourself even from the moment you walk there! Located upstream of Togetsukyo Bridge, you can enjoy the rich nature of the sound of flowing water and the leaves outside the window.
Although Arashiyama is full of tourists everywhere, Shoraian is located in a quiet mountain, so I recommend it as you can enjoy your meal while looking out at the peaceful and beautiful scenery.
The fun of appreciating calligraphy works everywhere
Throughout the restaurant, you can see the works of the restaurant owner, Fuyo Kobayashi. She is a famous Japanese calligrapher with a large fan base thanks to her impressive works. The nature of Arashiyama and her works are exquisitely combined, allowing you to enjoy a more traditional atmosphere while dining.
Creative seasonal tofu dishes that stand out
The menu features seasonal tofu dishes created with the calligrapher's sensibility and inspiration. Using Saga tofu, the soybean flavor stands out and the light taste is superb, while you can enjoy kaiseki cuisine that pursues traditional beauty.
It is said that this is the place where you can best experience Kyoto's hospitality culture, such as the calligraphy and painting that accompanies the explanation of the origin of each dish whenever a new menu is served.
