7-Eleven "10g (0.35oz) Protein

In the chilled side dish section of 7-Eleven, I found an unfamiliar product: a tofu bar with 10g (0.35oz) protein. I was going to buy a salad chicken bar, but I was curious so I bought this one. The price is 128 yen (tax not included).

Tofu bar with 10g (0.35oz) of protein

One "HIGH PROTEIN Tofu" bar contains 2.7 times more vegetable protein than ordinary silken tofu, making it possible to consume 10 grams of vegetable protein. Ingredients include whole soybeans, kelp extract, bonito flakes extract, and other ingredients to create a Japanese-style broth flavor. No flavoring is used. 104 kcal of energy per bottle.


Open the package from the top and enjoy the snacks as they are. The first mouthful has a firm, elastic texture similar to salad chicken. The inside is dense and firm, similar to firm koya-tofu (dried tofu). The more you chew, the more the flavor overflows. It is different from the image of smooth tofu, but it is chewy and satisfying.


The flavor is elegant yet strong. The light flavor of the tofu is complemented by the umami of kombu and bonito flakes, allowing you to eat it without feeling it is lacking. Personally, I would have liked some shichimi (7-ELEVEN spice) togarashi (chili pepper) or wasabi (Japanese horseradish) as an accent.

10g (0.35oz) protein crab cake bar

Next to the "10g (0.35oz) Protein Tofu Bar" was the "10g (0.35oz) Protein Crab Cake Bar," which contains 10.1g (0.04oz) of protein per bar, 75kcal per bar, and is priced at 148 yen (excluding tax).


The texture is pleasantly crispy, and each bar is thick and luxurious, as if you were eating several small crab cakes at once. With just the right amount of saltiness, it is a perfect accompaniment to a salad.


Both the tofu bar and the crabcake bar are easy to eat in one hand. They also have a long shelf life of about 3 weeks to 1 month, so if you stock them in your refrigerator, they will be your friend on busy days.
