Speaking of Esquerre in Yamaguchi-cho, it’s famous for its hamburgers!
When I passed by Esquerre, I noticed something being sold out front.
I was curious, so I got out of the car to take a look, and it turned out to be a tofu shop called Hara Shoten!
Every Friday, for just two hours from 15:00 to 17:00, they set up in front of Esquerre.
Healthy, good-for-you tofu is an essential item on Japanese dining tables, isn’t it?
So of course, I couldn’t leave without buying some.

Products from the tofu shop “Hara Shoten”
Here’s what the lineup looked like↓↓
Atsuage, oage-san, ganmo, yose-dofu, tofu, natto
There were two types of yose-dofu: “basic enden nigari” and “deep-sea water nigari.”
Apparently, the way the tofu sets and its flavor are completely different depending on the nigari!
The tofu comes in three types: silken, firm, and soft firm.
The ganmo is made with carrot, burdock, sesame, shiitake mushrooms, and ginkgo nuts, with “yam” used as a binder!
That’s a lot packed in there～😀
What we bought from the tofu shop “Hara Shoten”
chose these↓↓
When you eat the yose-dofu as is, you get the pure flavor of the tofu! Wow, it’s so good!
With a little salt, the sweetness came out even more and it was even tastier～
This is the natto. Carefully selected “natto” from Hara Shoten.
So much umami in the natto! The bean flavor really comes through and it’s delicious～
Even kids who don’t like natto might be able to eat this! It doesn’t smell strong!
For the silken tofu, we topped it with crispy jako!
The tofu flavor was so rich and sweet, and it was delicious～!!
The ganmo was packed with ingredients, and the moment I split it with chopsticks, the aroma of shiitake rose up. It had soaked up the dashi and was so good～
By the way, this ganmo absorbs a lot of broth and grows to about 1.5 times its size.
When simmering it, make sure to use plenty of dashi.
As expected, tofu from a real tofu shop is delicious!
I want to eat it again～!!
It’s also great that tofu from Hyogo Ward in Kobe can be bought in Nishinomiya!!
Apparently, some people even come from far away just to buy it～
