Silky oboro tofu and yuba in a seasonal multi-course meal

An upscale riverside tofu-kaiseki house in central Kyoto serving silky oboro tofu and yuba in seasonal multi-course form, with a full English menu and summer riverside (kawayuka) seating. It offers a dedicated fish-free vegan course ('Rokuhara') with no meat, shellfish, egg, dairy or fish — but you must order that specific course, since the standard tofu courses likely use bonito dashi.
