I visited for lunch on March 29, 2013.
It is located in a place that can be seen from the main gate of Daigoji Temple, and since the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, I skipped the cherry blossom viewing at Daigoji Temple and went there just before 12:00.
The restaurant was already full, and we were the last ones to be seated right away.
The person after us (3 people) waited in line outside.
I had ``Yuba Soba'', a warm soba dish. It was delicious with a gentle flavor and a strong dashi stock.
