This traditional style restaurant in a 250-year-old machiya traditional house has a strong focus on local vegetables and caters to vegetarian diners. While they only serve set course lunches and dinners, there is some flexibility on ingredients, so let them know in advance if you have any allergies or food preferences. The interior is simple but comfortable, with table seating and private balconies overlooking the courtyard. They require a reservation at least one day ahead, but their English website makes bookings easy.
