>Futaba (2-4-9 Nihonbashi Ningyocho) is a tofu shop located in amazake Yokocho, Ningyocho. It is said that after its founding in Fukagawa, it moved to this area in 1948. It is an attractive shop with a wide selection of products.

 
 "Bamboo Tofu" in a tasteful bamboo tube has an anecdote unique to Nihonbashi. In the past, restaurants lined up along the Sumida River, offering cherry blossom viewing in spring, fireworks in summer, and moon viewing houseboats in autumn. Therefore, tofu was popular as a product to offer, but it often jumped out of the glass vessel due to the shaking of the boat, so he came up with a product poured into a bamboo cylinder as a measure to prevent it.

 

>The famous "Jumbo Ganmo" is a product born from the playfulness of the third generation. About 30 years ago, we repeated cancers of different sizes and sold them as "offering cancers" at the end of the year, and gained a reputation as "delicious", and sold them as a whole year product. When boiling at home, the trick is to boil it before seasoning. The tie-up Yamatoimo swells softly and makes it easy to taste. "In the coming season, tofu goes well with pots and odens."

 

 Be sure to visit, buy several kinds of tofu, and enjoy the deliciousness of soybeans to your heart's content.
