Kadohama Goma-tofu — Restaurant in Koya

yesterday I had lunch at this place that prepares one of the specialties of mount koya or koyasan, namely sesame tofu.

I showed the celiac travel card and I was told that I could have one of their gluten free soups that were on the menu. I chose the one called "fake chicken", in which there is tofu fried in rice flour batter.

The soup I chose also said that marinated Bamboo was present, luckily I asked because the Bamboo was marinated in soy sauce.

By taking these precautions, that is, asking for specific and timely instructions even after showing the celiac card, I ate well and I was not sick (I am celiac sensitive to contamination).

I got the specialty gluten-free, vegetarian dish. It comes in three flavours. The miso has peanuts so I had to skip that one, the paitan (translates from Chinese as Pai - white Tan - soup). It was flavourful and delicious and warm. The tofu is made from sesame. I enjoyed trying a new type of tofu. It is the end of December so it is very cold exploring the temples and so sitting down in this warm spot feels like such a relief. The woman immediately brought us warm tea. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant for people with celiac and for those normies who can eat...

it was a lovely experience and such a relief to find a restaurant in koyasan that serves only vegan dishes. the goma tofu side dish was perfect. the noodle dishes were tasty and well balanced, and the desserts were a nice way to end the meal.

they also have a small souvenir shop near the entrance where you can pick up some tofu gifts.

although the prices are on the higher side and there can be a long wait, especially during lunch hours, the experience and peaceful atmosphere make it worth it. they also have a few other branches around koyasan if this one gets...
