【Takeout】You can find this traditional delicious tofu made with traditional methods and soybeans from Iwamizawa at supermarkets in Iwamizawa city. This is the tofu factory where it is made. They also sell it in the store. The shop is located on the edge of the commercial area in front of JR Iwamizawa Station, two blocks towards Iwamizawa Station from the intersection of Daido 687 line and 1st street. It's about a 5-6 minute walk from JR Iwamizawa Station. On my revisit in the morning of May 9, 2022, in the town of Iwamizawa, if asked where I want to go, I would immediately answer one of the shops, Yasuda Momen Tofu Shop. Today, the customer service was provided by the father, who may not be very friendly, but has a certain charm. These traditional tofu shops usually do not have a price list, so you don't know what products are available or how much they cost (laughs). Well, it's not just this shop, so I don't mind anymore. That's why I always decide what to buy at any shop. I bought one block of tofu and two pieces of fried tofu for a total of 631 yen after tax. The receipt says "Enjoy the retro flavor", so I'll add it to the title of this review. The heavy momen tofu has a strong flavor that increases when heated, with sweetness and soybean aroma. The fried tofu is of course excellent. Grilling it lightly on a hot plate and just adding soy sauce transforms it into an irresistible food. Oh, you can also buy their products at Lucky in Horomui, where you can find products from this shop, Daruma, another tofu shop in Iwamizawa, and Shirakawa in Mikasa.

In May 2022, I visited a tofu shop with a Taisho Roman-style exterior. Surprisingly, the inside was a factory. While I usually prefer silk tofu, they didn't make it here, so I bought regular tofu instead. It was dense and heavy. I tried it as is and found it to be firm with a good tofu flavor, very delicious.
