Tour Overview
Discover Nagoya’s culinary heritage with a hands-on tofu and miso experience. At a tofu shop with over 100 years of history, learn the traditional craft directly from an artisan. Guided step by step, you will prepare tofu from soybeans and taste it fresh and warm. To accompany it, enjoy miso dengaku — skewered tofu topped with Nagoya’s signature dark miso, a rich flavor beloved by the Tokugawa shoguns and central to the region’s cuisine.
