REALLY GOOD
1st YAKIDOFU
Aloha Tofu Factory Inc, Honolulu
Thus, the easiest way of savouring the yakidofu which actually is astuage(in 🇯🇵, called deep-fried tofu). Serve with grated ginger, sprinkle of green onion & sesame seeds(or furikake), then drizzle of shoyu. Cannot get simpler/easier than this. If cold tofu, I usually also drizzle some sesameseed oil for flavor. Since this is already deepfried(=oil/fat in it), omitted/avoided extras.
2nd TOFU PRODUCTS
Aloha Tofu Factory Inc, Honolulu
Freshly made tofu products from the one and only Aloha Tofu🤙🏽 After the legendary Honda Tofu in Wahiawa closed down, Aloha Tofu is now the only Hawaii local Tofu manufacturer that keeps serving locals with freshly made tofu products. Haven't visited the factory store for a long long time but glad I did, cannot beat the aroma & taste of freshly made tofu, aburage, and yakidofu.
3rd FRESH YUBA
Don Quijote Honolulu, Honolulu
Frozen Fresh Yuba from Kyoto 🇯🇵, another 🇯🇵regional fair at the store. Fresh Yuba texture & color are almost crape-like. Flavor-wise, versatile, just like Tofu🌱✌🏽
4th TOFU DYNAMITE
Down to Earth Organic & Natural Kakaako, Honolulu
Instead of shrimp, this one is made with Tofu✌🏽
5th BREADED TOFU
Water Drop Vegetarian House, Honolulu
Looks soooo deceiving, makes you think this is just a plain simple cut tofu breaded & fried - WRONG! This is, actually like a croquette, tofu with other goodies, seasoned so well just reminded of me a cream croquette. Simply ONO😋
6th CREAMED TOFU SKIN
Water Drop Vegetarian House, Honolulu
Unimaginable combination, whoever came up with the idea gets my credit. This Yuba(tofu skin) stewed in soy based cream with veggies is chowder-like tasting, Chinese take of creamy chowder, I must say. I wasn't sure of the taste, I only ordered one portion.(will get 2 next time I see this!) I'd have this with either a bowl of rice or with a piece of baguette😋😋😋
PRETTY GOOD
8th AGEDASHI TOFU
Tane Vegan Izakaya, USA
A bit off, appeared right, but when I tasted it, it was NOT agedashi tofu, rather like "an kake" tofu due to the sauce(vs broth). Plus the sauce was thick "sweet'n' sour". Hence, no point having all the flavorful toppings either...
11th FRIED TOFU
Han's Korean BBQ, Honolulu
Simple & wasn't expecting anything special, but was not bad at all.
