I stayed at Prinz, designer’s hotel pioneer at Kyoto. It also has a cafe, a gallery, and a bookstore. It’s near Keibun-sha (a famous bookstore at kyoto).
I stayed alone in a large-room with a very large size bed. It seemed to sleep with 5 people.
This is Otokomae(Handsome Guy) Tofu flavored white chocolate.
Processed Otokomae(Handsome Guy) Tofu is one of the ingredients. It’s amazing that I can taste tofu with chocolate !!
Masahiro(Japanese male name) is also one of otokomae tofu’s products. it’s little sweet and creamy.
I love to eat them as hiyayakko (chilled tofu and toppings) which is used the freshness of the ingredients.
男前豆腐店 (Otokomae Tofu)
A Kyoto-based tofu maker(a brand of tofu named Otokomae which means Handsome Guy) created many kinds of great tofu.
One of their products is tofu that boasts a big kanji character for 「男」”OTOKO”(male) on the package. It’s much richer with a stronger soybean flavor than refular tofu.
