Otokomae Tofuten, Everyone Should Try! - New Year's Japan Travel Day 8

       My husband and I traveled Japan during New Year's holidays. As I mentioned in my previous entry, we went to supermarket nearby his parents' home and purchased some tofu which was made by Otokomae Tofuten (男前豆腐店).

       As I mentioned in my previous entry, Otokomae Tofuten - My Favorite Japanese Tofu, I first tried their tofu in 2014 and found liking for it. Their tofu is the best tofu you can find at supermarkets!  In the U.S., I also found their tofu at Mitsuwa, a Japanese supermarket, but their tofu is six to seven times more expensive in the U.S. than one in Japan. Obviously, I cannot afford their tofu in the U.S. ;(

      Anyway, when my husband and I went to supermarket in Japan, I couldn't resist buying them. :)))

Tokunou Torokeru Kenchan Premium (特濃 とろけるケンちゃんプレミアム)

      I purchased Tokunou Torokeru Kenchan Premium (特濃 とろけるケンちゃんプレミアム) for 149 yen. It's extra rich silken tofu and had four pieces.

     I topped it with dried bonito flakes (katsuobushi) and soy sauce. He was surprised at how rich this tofu was. :)

Okotomae Atsuage (男前厚揚)

     This time, I also purchased their deep-fried tofu, Okotomae Atsuage (男前厚揚), for 149 yen. It had four blocks of atsuage tofu. There was the recipe written on the package. (Heat sesame oil in a pan, and saute atsuage tofu until it browns. Add bonito flakes, ginger and soy sauce, and stir them. Enjoy!)

      This one was also so delicious! My mother-in-law was impressed at this recipe. She told me, "I learned the new recipe from you! I will definitely cook these next time!" (I just cooked it as the package shows though.) Indeed, after my husband and I came back to the U.S., she told me that she cooked it several times and her husband really loves it. :)

         If you live in Japan, you really should try Otokomae Tofu! You can find their tofu at some supermarkets in Japan.

      That day, my mother-in-law served basashi (馬刺し), raw horse meat, for us. (I know that you think it's insane!) I will write about it next time.
