Okage Tofuan

"Founded over 60 years ago, we make fresh tofu every morning and deliver it with care to our customers. Our shop is surrounded by historic sake breweries—like sake, great tofu begins with pure water. Crafted the traditional way, our tofu is delicate, clean, and full of flavor. Please stop by and taste the difference. If your timing is right, you can enjoy our just-made ganmodoki (tofu and vegetable fritters) straight from the kitchen. Please note: On Sundays and public holidays the tofu shop is closed, so we will not stop there and tofu tastings will not be available."

The entire experience was great, close and informative. Hiro was an excellent host and made us feel really welcome and excited for the sake breweries. Visited 4 different sake breweries and a tofu shop at a moderate pace, great energy throughout.
