I stopped by on my way back from visiting the temple! As mentioned in other reviews, the tofu, soy milk, and other soy-based products here are all delicious and you can really taste the soy. There are also plenty of side dishes displayed, which are very tempting. The soy milk here is much richer compared to the ones sold in cartons at stores. When I first tried it, I was shocked by the pure sweetness and flavor of just soybeans. I can't drink the ones from cartons anymore! It's so delicious! The soy milk in the 400ml bottle (pictured) costs 500 yen. This time, I had the soy milk cold, but you can also get it hot, which would be nice on a cold day. Thank you for the meal!

In April 2020, Mr. Mairebi sent me a lot of freshly picked "tree buds with flowers" from the mountains behind his house. A week ago, a friend ordered "flower sansho" from Wakayama for me, and we enjoyed a "flower sansho shabu-shabu" made with Kobe beef. The king of spring wild vegetables is not "fuki no to" but the amazing "flower sansho" with its numbing taste and aroma! Every year, Mr. Mairebi in Kyoto invites friends and neighbors to enjoy his "flower sansho shabu-shabu", and I had planned to join them this year, but unfortunately, due to the coronavirus, I couldn't. I was disappointed, but then I received a message on Line saying, "I picked some this morning, so I'll send it to you right away!" The next morning at 10 o'clock, the package arrived at my doorstep (so happy). I opened it, removed any dirt, laid down damp kitchen paper to store it, and decided to cook a "wild boar grass pot" at a friend's house that day. The next evening, I invited my friends over and opened Kinako Dining. What should I make? After much thought, I decided to make a "crispy pot" with plenty of "tree buds with flowers" on top of the frozen "whale skin". To get some tofu to cook with it, I headed to Maeda Tofu Shop in Tenjinbashi-Suji Shopping Street, Arcade 3-chome, right at the opening at 11 o'clock. I've been there a few times before to buy tofu, side dishes, and soy milk pudding, and this time I bought the "Illusion Tofu" for 1500 yen (tax included). To match the best morning-picked "tree buds with flowers", I couldn't settle for anything less than the luxurious tofu that costs 1500 yen for one block. This luxurious tofu, made with five times the normal amount of soybeans and natural nigari from Yagaji Island in Okinawa, is fluffy, smooth, very smooth, and has a rich taste. It may be best enjoyed simply with soy sauce drizzled on top. Initially, I thought about having a pot by myself for lunch with sake, but since I received so many "tree buds with flowers", I contacted my friends and invited them over that night, opening Kinako Dining. As sake accompaniments, I made a wood bud miso and the classic "bamboo shoot and wood bud salad", simmered dried young sardines with last year's pickled Sansho pepper and served it with wood buds as "dried sardines with Sansho pepper", and grilled sea bream with chopped wood buds sprinkled on top as "grilled sea bream with wood buds". For the main dish, I thinly sliced the whale skin and cooked a "whale skin crispy pot" in a clay pot. Instead of Mizuna greens, I added a lot of wood buds to create a rich broth, then simmered the "Illusion Tofu" in it. Unlike the sharp numbing sensation of Sichuan pepper, the elegant tingling spiciness of the wood buds spreads throughout the mouth, along with the refined taste of the mountain, creating a high-class taste reminiscent of a spring gourmet restaurant. The tofu absorbed the umami of the whale and the aroma of the Sansho pepper perfectly, making it incredibly delicious. We enjoyed it with sake from Yamagata Prefecture, "Juyondai", and finished with "dried sardines with Sansho pepper rice", savoring the rare delicacy of wild spring "tree buds with flowers". Thank you for this special ingredient that can only be enjoyed at this time of year. Thank you for the meal! (●^o^●)

I have visited this tofu shop in Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street multiple times. They also have a variety of side dishes that all look very appealing. Personally, I love their yuba and silken tofu. Sometimes they run out of yuba though. Their soy milk is also recommended. If you happen to be walking through the shopping street, why not stop by and give it a try. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by a shopping street to try Nakamuraya's croquette and bought some soy milk at a tofu shop to quench my thirst during a bullet tour in Osaka with my senior. [Summary] Soy Milk 500 yen A cup of coffee-sized soy milk from a tofu shop. Not sweet, but genuine soy milk (which is expected). It tasted like liquid tofu with the sweetness of soybeans and seemed good for the body, but as someone who has only ever had adjusted soy milk, it was a bit too much for me.

On the last Monday of the consecutive holidays on July 15, I went shopping in Umeda in the morning and had Nagasaki dish udon, Setouchi lemon & thyme soda, takoyaki, and Minoh beer. I then focused on my activities on Tabelog and returned to Nambancho Station from Tenjinbashi-suji 2-chome North Arcade using the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line. I went to Maeda Tofu Shop located in Tenjinbashi-suji 2-chome North Arcade, a famous shop known for its traditional handmade tofu made without additives. I bought some ingredients for dinner, including: - Special silky tofu for 300 yen - Soy milk pudding plain for 300 yen - Soy milk pudding cocoa for 300 yen I used the special silky tofu, which is rich in soybean flavor and very smooth, to make "mapo tofu" tonight. I imitated the "stone-cooked mapo tofu" that is super popular at "Birei" in Kyoto, using pork belly instead of ground meat. I cooked the pork belly with sesame oil, Sichuan peppercorns, salted and chopped Sichuan peppercorns, chicken broth, Marumiya's mapo tofu sauce (medium spicy), oil la, doubanjiang, and soybean paste. I added the boiled and drained silky tofu and chopped white onions, thickened the sauce with starch slurry, and then transferred everything to a hot stone pot with sesame oil, la oil, Sichuan peppercorns, and salted Sichuan peppercorns. The stone-cooked mapo tofu was delicious and had a rich flavor with the perfect level of spiciness and numbness. It was so good that it could be served in a restaurant! For dessert, I had soy milk pudding in plain and cocoa flavors, topped with black honey and maple syrup, respectively. Both were delicious! The shop also had a tofu called "phantom tofu" that costs 1500 yen per block. I wonder what it tastes like, but it's too expensive for me to try. Enjoy your meal! (●^o^●)

Soy milk for ¥500, plain pudding for ¥300 (with black honey topping), side dish for ¥300 (small pack).

I recommend the light and gentle soy milk pudding with black honey.

I always used to pass by without buying, but finally I was able to purchase tofu. It's cotton tofu. It is a bit more expensive than what you find in regular supermarkets, but the quality is definitely worth it. When I got home, I made mapo tofu and it turned out perfectly without falling apart. The taste is just like the good old tofu from the past! They also sell tofu pudding and okara, so I definitely want to try them too.

In Fukuoka, there is a term "Tenbra" which means strolling around in Tenjin. I wondered if the same would apply to Tenjinbashi-suji in Osaka as I was strolling around there. I remembered seeing a tofu shop being featured on TV, with celebrities enjoying their food, so I decided to try their tofu pudding. The owner even gave me some black syrup as a bonus (lol). When I got home and tried it, my first impression was "how can something like this be made?" It was incredibly bouncy and chewy. The texture was strange, with a mix of elasticity and stickiness. And I don't think it had any sugar-like taste, the sweetness probably came from kneading the tofu. I could easily eat five of these tofu puddings in one go. The black syrup is optional, I personally prefer it without. It's amazing how you can trust a celebrity food review sometimes! I'm completely satisfied.

I bought soy milk. It's delicious but the high price is tough to swallow.

In October 2017, after work, I stopped by Maeda Tofu Shop in Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street. Originally, I was planning to buy some tofu to take home, but I saw soy milk pudding and decided to buy that instead. I purchased three types of soy milk pudding: plain for 300 yen, green soybean for 300 yen, and cocoa for 350 yen. I also received black syrup and maple syrup as a bonus. I took them home and enjoyed them late at night. The taste of soy milk was quite distinct and delicious. As expected from a tofu shop's soy milk pudding. They were all delicious, but personally, I think I liked the plain one the best. Even when combined with maple syrup or black syrup, it was delicious on its own as well. Thank you for the meal! Next time, I'll make sure to buy some tofu too!

This is a tofu shop located in Tenjinbashi 3-chome in the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street. I love tofu and fried tofu, so I stopped by out of curiosity. They had a variety of handmade products, including tofu and imitation goose, which were very appealing. However, because my bags were getting heavy, I reluctantly decided to only buy fried tofu. I took it home to my parents' house, baked it in the toaster oven, and enjoyed it with ginger soy sauce. It was even more delicious than I expected, and my family was very pleased. These small, handmade tofu shops are a precious and appreciated find. I was so happy to stumble upon it without any prior knowledge. Next time I pass by, I definitely want to try buying various other products too!

After visiting Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park, I stopped by Tenma, a place I rarely go to. While walking towards the famous shopping street at Tenma Market, I spotted a tofu shop. The sign read "tofu," there was a sticker that said "Living National Treasure Next Door," and I noticed the word "green soybeans." I decided to buy some soy milk pudding before dinner. The plain soy milk pudding had a light green tint, making it easy to distinguish. I took a bite and found it to have a rich soy milk flavor, yet refreshing. That's right, green soybeans, also known as edamame, have less oil content and more sugar compared to yellow soybeans. This is what gives it a refreshing aftertaste. Since it was refreshing, I added a little extra black syrup to enjoy the true taste. To really understand the flavor, you have to try it side by side with regular soy milk pudding.

On this day, I walked around the Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street. This shopping street is interesting! It's lively and has everything you need! Also, the announcements are in Kansai dialect! I bought a tote bag and then stopped by the Okinawa antenna shop. While looking around, I visited Maeda Tofu Shop. I had heard that their tofu pudding was delicious, so I wanted to try it. Besides tofu pudding, they also sold other tofu-related products. I bought: -Silken tofu (300 yen & 500 yen) I couldn't really tell the difference between the 300 yen and 500 yen ones, but the 500 yen one seemed slightly richer, especially in the aftertaste. -Spicy konjac (250 yen) I heated it up in a frying pan at home. It had a sweet flavor. -Tofu pudding (plain x2, green soybean x1) each 300 yen -Tofu pudding (cocoa) 350 yen Each pudding came with black honey or maple syrup. I tried the plain one first. It was slightly sweet and tasted good on its own. Adding the black honey made it even more delicious. The sweetness of the honey complemented the tofu flavor well. The cocoa flavor was light and elegant. My husband tried the green soybean pudding and really liked it. It's healthy and would be great for young children. I would buy it again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

As I walked along Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street, I came across one interesting shop after another! I was particularly drawn to the shops that have been around for a long time. One of those shops was a tofu shop where an old man was serving customers. He was a bit pushy, which made it a bit difficult to shop, but it was just the right amount. Very important. I bought some deli items from the refrigerated case. It was a dish made with black soybeans and udo flowers, with bits of carrots peeking through, and it was delicious! The plastic container was packed full to the brim. If I didn't have plans for the evening, I would have wanted to buy more things. Maybe next time!

This tofu shop uses carefully selected ingredients. I wanted to try their soy milk pudding, so I bought one while out eating. They had three flavors: plain, cocoa, and black bean (each 300 yen), and I chose black bean. The ingredients are soy milk made from contract-grown black beans from Tamba and gelatin. This pudding uses the equivalent of three blocks of tofu in beans. Since it's not very sweet, they serve it with either black syrup or maple syrup. I chose black syrup. It's rich in isoflavones and can be adjusted in sweetness, making it a delightful dessert for women. I first tried it as is. The sweetness and aroma of the beans are prominent, and the texture is fluffy and sticky, thanks to the gelatin. When topped with black syrup, it becomes a dessert. Or, you can try it with soy sauce mixed with dashi, topped with wasabi, for a refreshing dish. The other two flavors are made with organic soybeans grown by the wife's family, along with gelatin and a bit of sugar. The husband enthusiastically shared stories about making tofu. Next, I will try their tofu.

Get off at Minamimorimachi on the Tanimachi Line and Sakaisuji Line, then walk north for about 5 minutes along the Tenjinbashi shopping street. On the right side, you will find a shop famous for making authentic tofu using domestically grown soybeans and natural nigari. They also make pudding. The base is a simple pudding made with rich authentic soy milk and gelatin to firm it up. I purchased three varieties and did a taste test. - Tofu soy milk pudding made with Tamba Sasayama black beans (3.0) for 350 yen: Made with only soy milk, no sugar added. The texture is similar to tofu but softer with a delicate black bean flavor. It feels healthy but leaves a slight sense of lacking something, maybe because I'm more used to Western-style puddings. However, you can feel the goodness of soy milk. It has a bit of weight to it afterward. The sweetness and flavor of soy milk and black beans linger in the mouth. It might be suitable for those who like soy milk. When topped with black honey, the flavor changes, with the sweetness being emphasized and the delicacy of black beans disappearing, which can be frustrating. It is clearly different from Western-style puddings and feels like a pudding for soy milk lovers. - Cocoa pudding (3.5) for 300 yen: Smooth with a slightly elastic texture and a refreshing, slightly sweet taste. It uses a little sugar and heavy cream. There is a faint hint of soy milk flavor. Recommended for those who like light flavors, but if you're not a fan of soy milk, you might feel a bit resistant due to its lingering flavor. It's a blend of Japanese and Western elements. It may be good after a heavy meal. When topped with black honey, the overpowering taste of the honey can overshadow the original flavor of the cocoa pudding. I prefer it without the honey. - Plain pudding (4.0) for 300 yen: Slightly chewy but smooth and with a clean taste. As someone who usually eats rich Western-style desserts, this was a refreshing taste. It also uses sugar and heavy cream. The soy milk flavor lingers afterward. Personally, I feel that black honey is unnecessary. The simple taste of soy milk leaves a good impression. When you buy two puddings, black honey sauce is included as a service. For soy milk lovers, this pudding might be irresistible.

Maeda Tofu Shop's soy milk pudding. When you eat this soy milk pudding, other soy milk puddings don't feel like soy milk pudding anymore. It's the real deal, authentic soy milk pudding. It might be closer to tofu than sweets. But it's addictive. It costs 300 yen for one, with plain and cocoa flavors available, though I've only tried the plain. If you buy two, they give you a bonus black syrup. But even without much syrup, it's delicious. It has the true taste of soy milk. It's firm and has a nice bounce, very tasty.

I have been going to this place often, but I only used to look around. This time, I finally made a purchase. They only had soy milk pudding and cocoa left, so I chose the cocoa (350 yen each). The old man at the shop recommended the soy milk pudding, saying "This one is better than the pudding." He also recommended the chewy tofu, but I said, "Oh, I know that. The tofu that goes 'biiyon,' right?" "Yes, yes. It goes 'biiyon.' It's delicious." After that Osaka-style conversation, I found out that the old man was not a staff member but just a regular customer. When I told him, "Today, I'll stick with the pudding," he looked a bit disappointed. The cocoa pudding was bouncy and chewy, and it tasted delicious. I could slightly sense the soy milk smell, but I enjoyed it with the cocoa flavor. However, 350 yen per piece is a bit expensive. If it were a bit cheaper, I would have wanted to buy more. But next time, I want to try the chewy tofu. (〃ﾟ艸ﾟ〃)
