Tofu Making Class
Description
Tofu is a central ingredient in Japanese cuisine. Around 200 years ago during the Edo period, tofu dishes were already so popular that a book which introduces 100 different dishes became a bestseller. Tofu is made from soybeans, which is over 100 varieties in Japan. We are using our most favorite kind of soybean, so flavorful and fresh. So how about making your own delicious tofu and enjoy some kinds of soy cuisines? During the class, you can learn about history of Tofu and Soy cuisines. After the class, we will give you photos of the experience and recipes. Please enjoy the whole of tofu and soy cuisines!

This was such a fun experience! The husband and wife duo were so engaging and ensured we had a fantastic time. They were so patient and insightful when it came to the soy bean history as well as the process of making the tofu. I cannot wait to get home and try my hand at making my own tofu!
Thank you for your wonderful comments and high rating. Kujo Tokyo's experience service started with "tofu making." This is because we believe that soybeans, and tofu in particular, are the foundation of Japanese cuisine. We are delighted that you enjoyed it.
The experience was great! Not only did we learn how to make tofu from scratch, it happened to be the best tofu (without seasoning) that I’ve ever had!
Thank you for your prompt and wonderful comment. The quality of tofu is determined by the soybeans you use. Try different types. Of course, it's easy to make it from soy milk, but you can't choose the soybeans. There are substitutes for NIGARI (magnesium chloride), so I think it's relatively easy to find.
I am very glad we learnt how to prepare Tofu. It is an important element in Japanese gastronomy. The class was well structured with a theoretical part and a practical part. In the end there is a tasting of the tofu you cooked. The restaurant where the class happens is a classic Japanese place with Tatami. I recommend.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you'll try making tofu at home.
