Kyotofu

After dinner at Aburiya Kinnosuke, my friend and I decided to stick with the Asian theme. We debated going to either Mad for Chicken or Kyotofu, and for once sweet Japanese won out over savory Korean. This Soymilk Soft Ice Cream Sundae with kuromitsu whipped cream, mixed berry compote and matcha mochi was simple and fun.

One feels so virtuous eating tofu desserts. They all taste lighter than cream-based traditional sweets. The Signature Sweet Tofu with white sesame tuile, kuromitsu black sugar syru and dried apricot was the most mild of our trio of desserts, but the sweet tofu being notably less sweet and shadow more firm than expected.

Hands down favorite was the Passionfruit Tofu Cheesecake with coconut sorbet and yamamomo peach. It was light and jiggly and smooth and sweet and wonderful.
