This is a café run by a long-established tofu shop with over 70 years of history in Ureshino Onsen. I recently visited a new shop in Takeo Onsen, but I didn't try the tofu or soy milk there, so I'm happy to see one in Fukuoka as well. They have tofu soft serve (plain 490 yen) which comes in a cup and is quite generous in portion. It has a firm texture and when you eat it, you can taste the tofu more than the milky flavor. I like tofu but not so much soy milk, but the soy milk here is different, with a rich and natural sweetness of tofu itself, which I liked. On the other hand, if you are okay with soy milk but not tofu, you might find the aroma and taste too strong. In that case, I recommend trying the strawberry, matcha, chocolate, or other flavors with toppings. The staff were very kind and attentive, and the service was good. It was delicious and made me want to try the tofu itself, so I would like to visit the main store in Ureshino as well.

I visited a cafe at Island Eye in Kashii on a Sunday afternoon and was able to get in without waiting in line. The bite-sized colorful cream puffs were cute and delicious. The strawberry parfait with tofu-flavored soft serve was unique and enjoyable. The chewy mochi-like part inside the parfait was also delicious. This time I had sweets, but next time I want to try their lunch menu.

At the Island Eye (〃ω〃), I enjoyed a tofu parfait without soy sauce, which I really liked. The young female server was a bit rough but friendly, suggesting a drink to go with it. I didn't need it, but I ordered a hot coffee. It's amazing how good service can make a difference. Sometimes you encounter young individuals with high personal skills in hospitality, and it's interesting and deep. The uniform may play a role, but the two young servers on this day were great. The tofu soft serve had a slightly nutty flavor and a gentle sweetness overall. Inside, there was a tofu mochi that I loved! It wasn't overly sweet, and had a chewy texture. I'll definitely come back here again. ★★★★

Around 13:20 on a regular day, I ordered various dishes at the food court in Island City in Fukuoka. The elementary school student I brought with me had already finished lunch and wanted some ice cream, so they ordered the Tofu & Cafe's soy milk soft serve (chocolate) for 550 yen (tax included). When we finished paying, we were surprised to see that the soy milk soft serve was already prepared at the counter next to us. It was not too sweet and tasted delicious. The chocolate was nicely chilled and crispy.

Recently, I've been obsessed with soy milk and tofu. I happened to be near this place for work, so I decided to stop by and also get some takeout for my junior colleagues. Here's what I ordered: - Tofu Porridge Set ¥640 (Individual: Tofu Porridge with white dashi ¥490, Set: Mixed grain rice ¥150) - Tofu Porridge Green Curry ¥690 (To go) - Tofu Porridge Clam Chowder ¥690 (To go) - Tofu Porridge with white dashi ¥490 (To go) - Tofu Porridge Sundubu ¥590 All the dishes seemed like something that girls would enjoy. They all contain tofu, and even though they are called porridge, they do not contain rice. I personally enjoyed the comforting taste of the "white dashi" in the store, which paired well with the mixed grain rice. The dishes are an adaptation of Yudofu (hot spring tofu) from Ureshino Onsen in Saga, and the aim is to make this taste accessible to everyone. The idea of cooking tofu in Ureshino's hot spring water until it melts and becomes creamy is well-known. Turning that into clam chowder or green curry is innovative and wonderful. I tried all the takeout dishes, and they were all quite authentic. If you can keep the calories low and still feel satisfied, that's a win-win. Thank you for the meal.

Visited this cute and stylish café on the way back from the spa facility in Kashii. Ordered a Japanese parfait and coffee. The parfait was impressive with plenty of kinako powder. The ice cream had a surprisingly milky taste despite being made with soy milk. The combination of black honey, red beans, and mochi at the bottom provided a variety of textures throughout. The coffee was well-brewed and had a nice aroma, making it easy to drink and delicious. I heard that for lunch, you can get a soy milk parfait included for 1,000 yen, so I would like to come back again. If you have the chance, please visit this café as well. (*´◒`*)

This is a restaurant located on the first floor of Island Eye called Terihada Dining, specializing in tofu dishes based on the famous Ureshino hot spring tofu. The shop is a branch of Sakahirakaway, a tofu specialty store with over sixty years of history in making Ureshino hot spring tofu and Saga Oboro. I visited Island Eye and had lunch at this restaurant located in the food court. I chose the Tofu Porridge Green Curry for 690 yen and added a set of mixed grain rice and a drink for an additional 300 yen. I was dining alone, so I received a buzzer and waited for my order by the window seat. After a short wait, my order of Tofu Porridge Green Curry set for 990 yen was ready. The green curry is a soup-type curry made with tofu, shredded chicken, bell peppers, and other healthy ingredients. It was slightly spicy and went well with the rice. The restaurant is located inside the Island Eye's first-floor food court.
