Full Tofu Course - Yudofu Hitotori
The only item on the menu is a course called Yudofu Hitotori (yudofu combination). It includes yudofu, tofu with sesame inside, tororo (grated yam) soup, kinomedengaku - tofu grilled in miso, vegetable tempura, rice and miso soup. While it is tofu-filled and healthy, the volume is pretty satisfying.
