Men's Tofu Shop / Otoko-mae Cherry Blossom Flavor ☑️ 60g x 4 pieces ☑️ 41 kcal x 4 pieces ☑️ AEON I had been curious about this tofu that I saw on social media a few years ago. It's a small size, but surprisingly low in calories, and one piece is quite satisfying. At first, I couldn't really taste the cherry blossom flavor, but as I continued eating, I could enjoy the fragrance of cherry blossoms. It's not cherry, but a solid cherry blossom flavor. The strong cherry blossom aroma is not bad either. They recommend drizzling olive oil on it, but I enjoyed it as it is. Bon appétit!

I entered the restaurant on a regular Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. As soon as I walked in, there was a display case for sale items, and the staff greeted me right away. Even for a small purchase, the service was friendly and the checkout process was smooth!

(2016.09/First Visit) Men's Tofu Shop Headquarters and Kyoto Factory in Kyoto, Japan Blown by the wind, Tofu Shop Johnny, Extra Thick Ken-chan, and Gentle Melting Ken-chan Shin-go Port Town, and so on. I'm sure many of you have seen tofu with such interesting names at the supermarket, right? In recent years, Men's Tofu Shop has become more and more popular with its unique naming. At the headquarters and factory of Men's Tofu Shop, they also sell this tofu to the general public. I love factory outlets, especially when it comes to food. So, I had to come and check out the headquarters of Men's Tofu Shop in Nantan City. At the entrance, you'll see that guy in a school uniform and pompadour hairstyle. It brings back nostalgic memories. But to be precise, this outfit belongs to a slightly older generation than mine. The tofu is sold in a refrigerator in a corner of the factory office. As soon as you enter the office, you'll see a blonde guy and a girl with a nice body. The guy looks like he's from a one-night carnival in Kisarazu. Oh, but this is a modern delinquent, isn't it? The older generation of frogs like me grew up with embroidered tigers or dragons on the lining of their long jackets and bontan uniforms. The frogs had a shaved head and thick eyebrows like Astro Boy. Anyway, inside the refrigerator, there is a wide variety of tofu products from Men's Tofu Shop. But wait, there are no outlet products! I was a bit disappointed. I wanted some irregular outlet items, but they only had regular products. So, I ended up buying the regular Men's Tofu. It's the same one you can find at the nearby supermarket. I enjoyed it with plenty of condiments in a cold tofu dish. Bon appétit!

"The real manly men at the Manly Tofu Shop will never betray you." That's the motto of the Manly Tofu Shop. Indeed, I have tried various tofu dishes before, but I have never been betrayed. I decided to try their Japanese curry flavored soy milk hot pot. Although it is called a hot pot, you just need to heat it in the microwave to enjoy an authentic soy milk hot pot. And the Japanese curry flavor is very intriguing. And as expected, I was not betrayed today. Delicious! The rich and creamy tofu, combined with the Japanese curry flavor reminiscent of a soba shop's curry nanban, creates an unbeatable taste when mixed with the spicy and creamy tofu and soy milk. It's amazing! It's not just about not being betrayed. It exceeded my expectations. I want to eat this again. No, I will definitely buy it again. I think this is a product that tofu lovers, curry lovers, or anyone would enjoy. Thank you, Manly Tofu Shop!

Hello! I'm Yuzu from Okayama, the sunny land ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ I'm in tourist mode~☆ This is a story from a few years ago. A friend recommended me to try "amazingly delicious tofu that tastes like a dessert when topped with black honey" from "Kaze ni Fukarete Tofuya Johnny"!! The excitement and shock I felt when I first tried it, I still remember it vividly ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ Fast forward to a trip back from Shiga. While stuck in traffic in Kameoka city on Route 372 heading back to Okayama, I suddenly remembered that the tofu shop's factory was around here (o’∀’o) I looked it up online and found out they have tofu direct sales at the factory? Alright, let's make a surprise visit! "Otokomae Tofu-ten" is the name of the place. Just a little north of Kameoka city on Route 8, then a 5-minute drive down a side road. Surrounded by a peaceful rural landscape, there was the factory! At the entrance of the factory stands a large "Johnny" doll ((´∀｀*)) I wondered if they really sell tofu directly here? With a bit of anxiety, we entered the factory office, and there were tofu displayed in the showcase (｡>∀<｡) Furthermore, there were lanterns, big drums, and funky mysterious dolls lined up! (◎_◎;) It's quite a flashy and cheerful factory office!! Seeing that scene, we were also pumped up! The office lady who sensed our presence came out and provided very polite service (｡>∀<｡) She was wearing a cool "Otokomae" T-shirt (lol). I wanted that cool T-shirt, but I had spent all my money on the trip, so I decided to just buy tofu ((´∀｀*)) When I bought the tofu, they put it in a super funky bag (｡>∀<｡) And they included a lot of ice packs, a nice service♪♪((´∀｀*)) I felt a bit sorry for only buying 2 pieces (´ω`；) I enjoyed the tofu at home♪◎ "Kaze ni Fukarete Tofuya Johnny" is a well-known product, but it's the signature item of Otokomae Tofu-ten (b'3`*) Despite its light texture, it has a super rich soybean flavor! It's surprisingly sweet for tofu, clearly standing out from other tofu products ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ It's delicious anytime♪♪ But this time, buying it directly from the factory made it taste even better maybe?? (｡>∀<｡) Personally, I like to eat it with light soy sauce and dashi broth'3`)b-★ The "Otokomae Atsuage" in small packs is convenient to use! It has a rich flavor and a slightly firm texture! This one is delicious too~ (｡>∀<｡) I deep-fried half of it in oil and ate it with ginger soy sauce, and put the rest in oden♪( ´ ▽ ` ) Buying something you usually get at the supermarket from a factory's direct sales makes you a little happy, right? (b'3`*) Kyoto has many tourist spots, but this quirky factory tour might be interesting too (='∀')人('∀'=)

When I go to an izakaya, I always order "tofu" and "rolled omelette with broth". Each restaurant serves various types of tofu, so it's interesting. That's why even when I go shopping at a regular supermarket, I always check out the tofu section (laughs). One day, I came across a unique tofu and couldn't help but put it in my basket! Its name was "Tofu Shop Johnny, Blown by the Wind". I bought it just based on the name (laughs). I was surprised by how big it was! And when I tried it... it had a soft texture just like pudding! The taste was normal, but it was a unique tofu!

Oh, it turns out that Otokomae Tofu has a solid storefront. So, let's talk about their "Kyoto Cobblestone" dish. It's basically Otokomae Tofu, rich and flavorful. You can taste the richness even when eaten as is. To enhance the tofu's flavor, it's topped with dashi soy sauce and green onions, creating a delicious dish.

Blog ⇒ [Riding on the Flowing Clouds♪] What is happening now? What should we do now? Is it the influence of "global warming"... the weather conditions are worsening. At this age, I can't keep up physically and mentally. But we can't just end it with "the past was better". It's time to think about various things and look ahead to live for the future. However, with the threat of the new coronavirus looming... opportunities for stress relief such as travel and dining out are not easily available. In the midst of this, records in meteorological observation history and records of new coronavirus cases are being updated... I am not a prophet or a psychic, but I could foresee this. What about the government officials with high academic backgrounds and the so-called experts? The delay in declaring a state of emergency, the gradual lifting of the state of emergency. Huge mistakes such as investing more tax money in distributing masks before the special fixed amount of cash benefit. These should be taken seriously and new measures should be devised from scratch. Anxiety is increasing in parallel with the daily increase in the number of new coronavirus cases, and the anxiety is piling up, making the future completely uncertain. I think I can overcome this situation, but what should I do? If this situation continues, I don't think I can bear it mentally. However, the people who have brought the world to the depths of suffering are now... shamelessly ignoring the rules and doing as they please! Every time I see such news, I grit my teeth and try to move forward somehow. However, it's not just me who is suffering. Ryokan and restaurant owners must be suffering even more. I have to eat if I'm hungry. If I have to spend money anyway, I want to help those people a little... While thinking like that, I buy local specialty products from various places. In addition, if I'm going out, I might as well have lunch out! In this way, little by little every day, while being conscious of returning to my original life... On this day, while shopping at "Shokuhinkan Aoba," I bought products from "Otokomae Tofu-ten." The unique packaging may catch the attention of many people, right? The naming is quite impressive, so some people might be put off by it. But I think the tofu from "Otokomae Tofu-ten" is worth more than the price. The "Tokunou Ken-chan" I bought this time is only 98 yen (excluding tax)！The regular price may be a bit higher, but it's a supermarket, right? Also, the fact that you can get it at a supermarket may be one of its charms.

It's more of an introduction to the product than the store, but... (^_^;) Introducing the delicious tofu from Otokomae Tofu, the product "Yasashiku Torokeru Ken-chan". I haven't compared it to others, so I'm not sure how it's different, but it's definitely delicious. It comes in a pack of three, so I tried different ways to eat it. *Olive oil + rock salt... Western-style cold tofu. The tofu itself is flavorful, so adding black pepper could be good too. *Soy sauce... It's just delicious, isn't it? It doesn't lose to soy sauce. *White miso + soy sauce microwaved... It's slightly warm. It's comforting. Since the tofu has a rich flavor, even a strong seasoning is okay. Kimchi + soy sauce + sesame oil is also good.
