- What is tofu?
Tofu (Tofu) is a processed food made by solidifying soybean juice (Soy milk) with a coagulant (Nigari, Other).
A soybean processed food that has been eaten in East and Southeast Asia for a long time.
The processing method and cooking method differ from country to country, but tofu in Japan developed as “food unique to Japan” with white and soft texture.
Tofu is a nutritious but low-calorie ingredient.
Many people eat it as a health food.
Why don’t you try the leading tofu dish at a specialty restaurant that focuses on tofu?

This combination of Japanese and Western styles is rare.
The drained tofu is healthy, but it is satisfying.
There are 10 different flavors of “Tofu sandwich” available depending on the time of day, so you’ll be able to tell which one you’ll be able to taste after your visit.
There are a wide variety of flavors such as the western taste of corned beef, Vietnamese style, Korean style, and Japanese style.
