Tofu-ya

This eye-catching item features freshly-made yose dofu. The tray offers tofu topped with seasonal ingredients, including edamame and corn in the summer, purple potato in the fall, and squash in the winter. Served with two small sides, soy milk custard, konomono (pickled vegetables), white rice, and miso soup.

This conger eel is a specialty to rival even this restaurant's tofu dishes. The chefs look high and low for conger eels with the right size and fattiness, starting with nearby Ise Bay, for this tempura box meal. Large (2 eels): 2570JPY; Regular (1 eel): 1730JPY.

The firm tofu used here is different from yose dofu. It is specifically made for dengaku, and together, they are carefully grilled over a charcoal fire to make this dish. Partners with a special sauce made with sesame paste and yuzu, and accented with several kinds of miso as well as sake and mirin.
