INFORMATION

ABOUT KYOTOFU FUJINO

Our philosophy is environmental-centric and promotes individual well-being. We would never make tofu just to satisfy a passing taste. It is our goal to offer uniquely innovative cuisine that promotes a healthful and environmentally conscious way of life to be enjoyed by generations to come. We stretch conventional wisdom about tofu and introduce casual dishes into your everyday life.

ABOUT KYOTO

Kyoto is a favorite city for tourists, and it’s not only because of its ancient cultural heritage. Kyoto has been changing and growing into a modern and advanced city, with a lot of creative ideas to combine the old with the new and add to its appeal. Kyotofu Fujino shops and restaurants are located in Kyoto’s historic neighborhoods.
We both set trends and respect the traditional side of Kyoto cuisine.

ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

Tofu is made of selected fine soybeans, fresh water and a coagulant called “nigari.” Washed and ground soybeans are boiled overnight, and broth is pressed to separate soymilk from “okara,” the lees left after making tofu. Then, nigari is added to curdle soymilk, followed by a weight to dehydrate the curd. Each block of tofu is packed and kept cold through the whole way to reach you.
Tofu is easy to digest. High in protein and calcium, and low in calories and fat, tofu is an ideal food. Because it has no cholesterol, tofu even offers protection against diseases such as diabetes.
We use only domestically-grown soybeans and stress the importance of utilizing every aspect of the bean in order to minimize waste. In maintaining its environmentally conscious philosophy, we emphasize the importance of using non-genetically modified soybeans.
