tricia wangMarch 9, 2017Tofuya taught me that I don't hate tofu, I only love Japanese tofu, like their twice-fried tofu. Walk around the garden & watch them making the fried tofu. Make reservations! Meals las 2-3 hours.Upvote5Downvote

Rachel KJuly 7, 2017Perfect vegetarian experience in Tokyo! Have your hotel call and day what you don't eat (fish, beef or fish stocks, egg, etc) and they will make your meal perfectly.

ToryBurchMay 6, 2011This restaurant is all about tofu (try the tosui-tofu). With 55 private rooms—each with a gorgeous view of the gardens outside—and 500 seats, it still fills up quickly so reserve early.Upvote1Downvote
