Shigezo Shidaime Tofu
Shigezo Tofu III impressed us with its extremely rich tofu. In addition to the well-known tofu, the shop offers a wide variety of unusual products. Among them, we have picked out some of their most popular and best-selling items! Among them, I recommend the last one, "Gokusamaboro Tofu," which is the most delicious tofu I have ever tasted...!
Soy Milk Tofu
A fu confectionary made with dough containing soymilk. It is flavored with brown sugar.
The surface is crispy and hard, and when you bite into it, the texture is crispy and crunchy. However, the dough inside is soft and fluffy, and melts in an instant with the heat in your mouth. The savory sweetness of the brown sugar gradually spreads over your tongue... delicious! So light and fluffy, you can eat as many as you want! 260 yen (tax included, same as below).
Salted Tofu
Salted tofu is said to be highly praised by Italians, the home of cheese. We like to marinate it until the very last minute, so we open it just before the expiration date and cut it into pieces.
When you take a bite, you can feel the elasticity on your tongue. The texture is like mozzarella cheese, which is smooth to the touch and melts in your mouth. The richness of the milkiness and the mild sweetness of soybeans spreads mellowly. Delicious!
The salty flavor is soaked in, so please taste it as it is first. Next, try it with a dash of olive oil and a sprinkle of black pepper. You will discover a new taste of tofu. Goes well with sake! 162 yen.
Extra sweet bean curd
The number one product on our repeat list, KOKUMANE OBORO TOFU. As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, this was the biggest hit for me personally. (I really bought it on repeat after this)
It has the texture of a sweet that melts in your mouth, but it has a very intense flavor that seems to have been condensed. And it's sweet! Very sweet. It has a mild, rich, natural sweetness.
I have never tasted such delicious tofu...
It is just delicious, so try it as it is without soy sauce or anything else. If you pour a little salt or soy sauce on it, the sweetness of the tofu will be enhanced and it will be just as delicious. If I were told that the treasure in a treasure hunt game was this oboro-tofu, I would search for it with all my might. 130 yen.
That's all for now, here are three of Shigekura 3rd Generation's top picks! If you like tofu, this is a must-try. There are direct sales locations in Kanto and Niigata prefectures (Kanto has quite a lot), so please visit the official website to find a store near you.
