Try our Gomadofu (sesame tofu) made with care and love
Gomadofu 'sesame tofu' is a staple of Buddhist vegetarian cuisine. Made of sesame seeds and kudzu, the meticulous care and diligence with which the ingredients are raised comes through in the flavor. At Hanabishi, we hand-pick the sesame and kudzu with which we create our special gomadofu sesame tofu. In particular, our kudzu dishes feature kudzu flour from the town of Yoshino, said to produce the highest-quality kudzu. Our heartfelt hospitality is grounded in techniques and skills that have been handed down from generations in Mt. Ryozen and its thousand-year history. We welcome our customers and want you to enjoy the blessings of the season-and to savor your visit to our restaurant as a memory of your stay at Mt. Koya. We were founded in the early Meiji era, in the days when Mt. Koya was off-limits to women. Successive visits by the Emperor and Empress in the Showa and Heisei eras allowed our restaurant's head chef to showcase the full range of Mt. Koya cuisine. We offer not only Buddhist vegetarian cuisine

Gratin Cafe
Iwade/Kinokawa/Hashimoto (North Wakayama), Wakayama
Thinking back to the "feasts" of the past. A restaurant specializing in gratin in Kudoyama with a delightful hidden location.
It is a rare gratin specialty restaurant in Japan that serves only handmade gratin. Gratin used to be a "treat" that few restaurants offered because of the great work required to prepare it. At Gratin Cafe, the sauce is made by hand, taking the time and effort to preserve the methods used in those days. Its gratin is refrigerated for three days and then frozen for a milder flavor. The variety of gratins featuring seafood, horumon (offal meat), and seasonal ingredients are all exquisite. The entrance to the restaurant is located down the stairs from the parking lot. Although structurally underground, the view of the clear stream from inside makes it an attractive hideaway. Why not reminisce about the "treats" of the past in Kudoyama, Wakayama?
