The Tofu



About the mobile tofu shop mentioned in past post. We had the tofu with japanese ginger and dried bonito fish flakes. This mobile tofu shop's tofu is from a store at the fish market of tokyo called Noguchiya. The same amount of yellow beans used for normal tofu will make around 1200 blocks, while Noguchiya can make only 350 blocks. Which means, the taste is rich & sweet with heavy bean taste. Using of natural water and selected beans is also what makes it special. By just 1 bite you will know the difference!!

That's about 4 times more tofu-ness than normal tofu——have to taste this the next time we visit! Did you have to cook the tofu for this, or did you serve it cold? Looks so yummy!

Yes, it's like.... hmm.... Beans, beans.. tofu!! Very rich!! We serve it cold this time, so as to taste the natural of this tofu. This cold tofu with just some leeks and soya sauce is usually called 'Hiyayako',
