I went to eat tofu pudding but was drawn to the mango shaved ice and also ordered it. It came relatively quickly. The mango was quite sour, while the ice was sweet. It was quite large so you have to eat it quickly before it melts. I've had tofu pudding at Shijo before and it was delicious. It also has a substantial portion.

I shared this incredibly delicious shaved ice with two children. The rich mango flavor was amazing - I wanted to eat it all by myself. It would have been nice if we could eat it in the park in front of the shop, as the air conditioning was working well inside.

I was drawn to the down-to-earth charm of Amadou, a shop specializing in tofu pudding and Taiwanese tea, and decided to order. I got the warm tofu pudding with brown sugar syrup, tapioca pearls, grass jelly, taro balls, and red beans. It was a rainy day special with an extra topping. The warm brown sugar syrup was delicious with a gentle sweetness. The tofu pudding was soft and delightful. The toppings were also very tasty. I regret not getting all the toppings. The handsome shop owner spoke beautiful Japanese and had smooth skin. Maybe it's the power of tofu pudding. The Oriental Beauty Tea was fruity, easy to drink, and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I showed my student ID and got an extra topping, and if you tag them on Instagram, you get an extra topping or an extra serving, so I ended up with a total of 6 toppings for only 800 yen. I chose grass jelly, tapioca, peanuts, red beans, taro balls, and sweet potato balls. I asked for recommendations and was told that if I wanted sweetness, I should go for red beans, and if I wanted a nutty flavor, I should choose peanuts, so I went with those two. You can choose between brown sugar syrup and soy milk syrup, and I went with the recommended brown sugar syrup. The taste was delicious and satisfying, and I even got some to take out. I would definitely want to come back again.

I came here for the first time because I wanted to eat tofu pudding. The clean interior with soft lighting gives off a cozy Taiwanese atmosphere. The toppings for the tofu pudding are lined up in the refrigerator, reminding me of my trip to Taiwan. There are 9 toppings to choose from, and you can select 4 for 800 yen, with each additional topping costing 80 yen. I couldn't miss out on QQ, must try grass jelly, and red beans are essential for sweetness, so I ordered 5 toppings. It arrived in a large bowl about 15 cm in diameter. I was delighted by the generous size and abundance of toppings. The tofu pudding had a gentle sweetness from the ample brown sugar syrup and a solid tofu texture. I thoroughly enjoyed the grass jelly, and it was a healthy dessert. It was as delicious as eating it locally. The owner was busy alone on this day, but still friendly and approachable. The atmosphere of the restaurant truly reflects the person who runs it. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again.

On this day, I visited "Ama Douhua" near Sanjo Kai Shotengai. It's located about 6-7 minutes from Nijo Castle Station. It's snack time! Arrived at the restaurant and found some empty seats. I ordered the "Ama Douhua (cold) @750" with toppings options of tapioca, white balls, red beans, and peanuts, and syrup options of brown sugar. The dessert was ready in about 4 minutes. I chose the one with all 4 toppings. The dessert had a light and smooth texture, similar to soy milk pudding, with a gentle sweetness from the brown sugar syrup. The different toppings provided a rich texture and flavor. I finished it quickly and would like to try their "Luroufan" next time, which was sold out on that day.

Kyoto is hot, but when it's hot, this is the answer! However, it's quite popular so it's best to make a reservation to ensure you can eat it. It's not fluffy, but rather crunchy ice. It makes you feel like you're in Taiwan. It costs 1200 yen including tax, whether that's expensive or cheap is something you'll understand once you taste it. Eating it alone might be a bit tough. Sharing it with someone should be satisfying. Thank you for the meal.

The "Luroh Hainanese Chicken Rice" sells out in 30 minutes after opening, so if you want to try it, you should arrive early. The tofu pudding and toppings are also known to sell out by 3-4pm. I had tofu pudding and an iced coffee. You can choose from 9 toppings and 2 syrups. You can pick toppings based on appearance or ask the friendly staff for recommendations. The tofu pudding was delicious, and the staff member serving us was very kind. He might be a famous employee known for being soothing.

Located across from Sanjo Omiya Park in the largest arcade shopping street in Kyoto, the "Sanjo-kai Shopping Street (from Horikawa to Senbon)," this new shop opened on January 11th. It is the second branch of "The old taste" and has already been widely introduced despite being a new store. On the day I was shopping in the Sanjo-kai Shopping Street, I saw a sign for Douhua (Tofu Pudding) that said, "The taste of a grandmother from Tainan for you." Inside the shop, you place your order first in a cash-on system. The friendly male and female staff members are there to assist, and the glass case displays various toppings for the Douhua. The signature menu item, "Ama Douhua," allows you to choose from four toppings for 750 yen including tax. If you prefer it without toppings, you can order the "Original Douhua" for 500 yen, and you also need to choose between hot or cold and two types of syrup. Douhua is a Taiwanese dessert made by coagulating soy milk into a pudding-like texture and soaking it in a slightly sweet syrup. I ordered the "Ama Douhua" in a cold version with red beans, peanuts, tapioca, and white pearls as toppings, and I chose brown sugar syrup. The taste was a gentle and subtly sweet combination of the Douhua and brown sugar syrup, with the flavors and textures of the toppings adding layers of complexity. The harmony between the red beans and the Douhua was particularly impressive. The eat-in space offers table seating, sofa seating, and counter seating against the wall, with a view of Sanjo Omiya Park. The natural light filtering through the large windows creates a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. In addition to the Douhua, the menu also includes Lu Rou Fan (Braised Pork Rice) and Taiwanese-style fried bread, as well as beverages such as Alishan coffee and around seven types of Taiwanese tea, including Taiwanese black tea and Taiwanese beer. Just a 6-minute walk away, you can find the charming Sanjo-kai Shopping Street to the north, as well as places like Kamizonoen and Nijo Castle. The shop is easily accessible from Hankyu Omiya or Subway Nijojo-mae Station. Due to the current situation, please check their social media for the latest information on their operating hours before visiting.

It seems to be a specialty store for tofu pudding, but they also offer light meals. I tried the savory tofu pudding (Shendoujiang) and tofu pudding. The savory tofu pudding is a popular Taiwanese breakfast dish. It is warm tofu milk with vinegar, chili oil, soy sauce, and more. It is creamy and slightly spicy. For the tofu pudding, you can choose your favorite toppings and the price varies depending on the number of toppings. You can also choose between tofu milk and rock sugar syrup, and whether you want it cold or warm. They also offer drinks like Taiwanese tea.

The shop called Toufa♪ has a Taiwanese atmosphere that gets you excited. I've never been to Taiwan (but I want to go). I tried toppings like white balls, red beans, peanuts, and tapioca. It was light and delicious with a bouncy texture.

I heard that Lu Rou Fan (Braised Pork Rice) is available here, so I came to try it. Reservations are a must to eat this dish, and if you don't secure one in advance by phone, you may end up facing the disappointment of it being sold out. During my first visit, I made a reservation and had Lu Rou Fan with a side of Mini Dou Hua (Sweet Tofu Pudding). The Lu Rou Fan tasted above average, almost like a "model student," but I thought it lacked a bit of personality. I'm not a fan of spices like star anise or Chinese five-spice, but a hint of flavor might have been nice. It left me with the impression of "mild taste." As for the Mini Dou Hua, it's not something I would typically go for, but I decided to order it since I was at this restaurant. It was light, not too sweet, and seemed like something young women would enjoy. It was delicious, but it didn't feel like it was geared towards older men like me. It was an interesting experience nonetheless. On another day, I came for Xian Dou Jiang (Savory Soy Milk). I was told that I didn't need a reservation for this. The Xian Dou Jiang was more like a soup with salty tofu rather than the usual soft tofu. It had a good balance of saltiness and spiciness, similar to the Lu Rou Fan. It reminded me of someone from junior high - smart, not bad looking, and serious... but not very entertaining! I thought maybe adding a bit more personality to the flavors would be better, but considering the clientele here might be young women, perhaps this mild and safe taste is what works best. My taste buds are like "Iwaki from Dokaben" (a Japanese manga character known for his home run hits), always swinging for the fences! With the current inability to travel to Taiwan, this might be a good choice for a taste of Taiwanese cuisine close to home.

Tofu pudding lunch set (mini roulohan, tofu pudding) for 1200 yen. It was my first time trying tofu pudding, and it was delicious.

I visited during the pre-opening period. The food here is incredibly delicious. Even though I can't go to Taiwan, I can feel the nostalgic flavors here. Please give it a try. Thank you for the meal. *This is a popular restaurant, so be sure to make a reservation before going.
