Simplicity Is What Makes It Difficult! The Art of Crafting Quality Tofu
Tofu is made from just three ingredients: soybeans, water, and nigari (a natural coagulant). Because it’s so simple, the skills of the craftsmen make all the difference. They carefully adjust the water temperature and grinding process based on the day’s temperature, humidity, and the condition of the soybeans. Thanks to their dedication, the tofu is rich in natural soybean sweetness.
Fluffy Perfection! Saga Ureshino’s Traditional Onsen Yudofu
Onsen yudofu is made by simmering tofu in mineral-rich hot spring water. As the tofu softens in the pot, it develops a rich, mellow flavor that enhances the natural sweetness of soybeans. Its texture is fluffy yet satisfying, with a delightful bite.
Only One Option: The Onsen Yudofu Set Meal
The menu features just one dish—the onsen yudofu set meal. The onsen yudofu becomes melt-in-your-mouth soft, and you dip it into a special sauce for a delightful flavor experience. Even better, you can use the leftover tofu broth to make a soy milk hot pot or add rice to make a comforting zosui (rice porridge), offering different tastes to enjoy until the last bite.
Healthy Soy Milk Sweets That Are a Big Hit!
Be sure to try the Saga Hirakawaya original soy milk sweets after your meal! A must-try is the Hirakawaya Parfait, which features a delicious mix of soy milk soft-serve ice cream, soy milk mochi, and soy milk shiratama (sticky rice dumplings). It’s a healthy yet satisfying Japanese dessert that’s packed with flavor! Access
