Tofu Making x Sake Tasting Night

Please join us in making your own tofu to take home, and enjoy tasting different types of natural tofu dishes and Nanbu Bijin sake from Japan!

We are excited to host this one-time-only event in collaboration with a special guest from Japan, Shizukuishi Tofu Kobo, an organic artisanal tofu maker from Iwate prefecture.

This 2-hour event will feature:

• Introduction to tofu and lecture on how tofu is made
• Make-your-own tofu making experience
• Hands-on cooking class using tofu, deep-fried tofu pouches, and premium yuba (silky tofu ribbon)
• Tofu and sake tasting

The event will start with a hearty Japanese tea to welcome the guests and a walk-through on the history of Tofu Kobo founded in 1968.

Tofu Kobo CEO, Ms. Kanako Fukuoka, will share her story in her tireless challenges in replacing machine automation production process with a more traditional way of making tofu by hand.

The tofu making session will be led by Ms. Fukuoka, and Katy Tanaka, a RESOBOX Japanese vegan food cooking class instructor.

Guests will have a chance to make their own tofu using organic soy milk.

We are also very lucky to get to taste tofu from Tofu Kobo delivered straight from Japan right before the day of the event!

We will have a variety of tofu such as plain, black sesame, edamame, premium yuba-layered tofu made with non-GMO organic soy beans which make the real and most purest form of tofu.

Also, we hope you will enjoy a casual four course Japanese meal prepared with tofu which includes premium yuba zen sushi, braised “ganmo” tofu nuggets, grilled tofu pouch stuffed with seasoned steamed rice, and tofu dessert.

Please note that the ticket price for the event has two tiers: one for $60 which does not include the sake tasting, the other one for $80 which includes the sake tasting.
