Togaden (豆雅傳) Review

Kyoto is famous for their soy products so I have to try it. I went to eat by myself because my cousin doesn't like tofu. It's a bit awkward to eat by myself when everyone else is with someone...

It was interesting I went upstairs to where they eat and then the lady told me to go back down, write down my name and how many people and then she told me to go back upstairs. In my mind I'm like WTF? Maybe that was a waitlist but I see an empty table... It was just weird.

Anyways, I ordered the tofu set meal ($1200 yen).

I really like the rice. It had like a soup thickish sauce to it. The rice was chubby looking. It was well flavoured. Normally rice has no taste. There were a few pieces of lettuce in it with a few fried tofu. The texture wasn't as soft but still good.

The tofu with soy sauce was good. It had nice flavour from the soy sauce but I think eating alone would be good too. It's like eating tofu pudding but salty. The saltiness brings out the tofu sweetness.

The middle thing, not too sure what it is. I think tofu mixed with something else. It was good but not my favourite.

The tofu on the left, it was like half of a fried tofu but a soft one. It was as soft as that soy sauce tofu.

The miso soup was quite different from the Vancouver ones. It wasn't as salty which was good. There were bites of tofu which were really soft. There were also some seaweed.

Overall not bad and yes I would come again but maybe try their small snacks on a skewer. I wish their tofu had a stronger flavour. The tofu in Vancouver or HK has a strong tofu flavour.

Service very nice but seems like they don't really notice me when I wanted to order...
