I had lunch at the "Otayasu" curry restaurant near Yasaka Shrine in Gion. Their most popular menu is vegetable curry, and the one I ordered was "Nama Yuba" curry. Yuba is a skin that is skimmed off from the surface of heated soy milk. There are dried type and fresh type, and a fresh one is called "nama" yuba. The crunchy bits of deep fried flour dough called "tenkasu" are served to sprinkle on the curry, which give a wonderful accent in taste.
You can choose white sticky rice, zakkoku-mai (mixed grains), or noodle to go with your curry. Price is also very reasonable (about 1,000 yen).
