In this cooking workshop you will learn how to prepare a local style of tofu with Yamagata soybeans from start to finish.

Work alongside Mrs. Horikawa, a longtime resident of Yamagata City who hosts a series of cultural workshops. The workshops are held in a beautiful traditional Japanese storehouse that has been in her family for generations.

Together with Mrs. Horikawa, you will learn how tofu is made step by step including boiling, blending, filtering, and setting the tofu into its block form.

As is typical in Japanese cuisine, no ingredients go to waste and you will also be working with the leftover soybean material that is filtered out when making the tofu. With this bean curd, you will make one of a variety of dishes with Horikawa-san that will be served in the meal after your workshop.

Horikawa speaks English and has prepared English materials that make this workshop very easy to enjoy. She is also very friendly and you can ask her anything you want about her hometown, so consider this a great chance to get other ideas for tourism here in Yamagata too!
