Today's pick is "Tofu Cuisine Sorano Ebisu Store." Located just a 3-minute skip from Ebisu Station. Opened in October 2002, renovated in November 2022! The serene space with a warm wooden feel and healthy tofu dishes are the highlights. The specialty product is "Sorano Tofu," made at the customer's table in a tofu-making process that does not use additives or coagulants. The restaurant is operated by Foodgate Co., Ltd., known for popular establishments such as "Gohan-ya Ichishin Daikanyama" and "Udon Yamanaga." Sister stores include "Tofu Cuisine Sorano Shibuya Store" and "Tofu Cuisine Sorano Minamisenba Store." I visited during lunchtime on a weekday. The sky looked like it might rain as I gazed at it. The atmosphere was a bit gloomy. I was strolling around Ebisu, contemplating having Chinese cuisine when I found myself crossing the street unintentionally. Oh well, this must be destiny. The restaurant I had been curious about for a while had a good vibe from the exterior. The outdoor terrace seating looked appealing, and it seems they welcome dogs. I wonder if cats, rabbits, or giraffes are allowed too. Oh well, let's take responsibility for our choices. The interior is a mix of concrete and wood, creating an urban modern feel with natural light both inside and out, providing a stylish and open atmosphere. The ceiling is somewhat high, and the tables and counter seats are spacious and functional. The chairs are surprisingly comfortable for the price. There were still plenty of seats available at this time, with about 80% female customers and some male customers, making it feel like a girls' school. It's summer! Time for a swimming class! Exciting times ahead! The jazz BGM was playing, and the water served was delicious. The air conditioning was comfortable, and the restroom was clean and functional. No amenities were provided. They accept electronic payments. The staff's service was impeccable, very friendly and welcoming. I decided to try the "Beef Belly Beer Stew Set" for 1250 yen. Although the "Silken Tofu Set" was recommended, I couldn't resist the temptation of beef belly. Well, to be honest, it was the beer that caught my attention. The dish arrived quickly, and it looked delicious. The tofu was also included, along with a hint of olive salt. The side dish today was pumpkin. I started with the miso soup, which was flavorful with homemade fried tofu and finely textured tofu. The tofu itself was elegant and smooth, enjoyable on its own or with the soy sauce dashi. The salad was fresh, and the addition of fruits was a nice touch. The beef belly was incredibly tasty, tender, and the burdock was excellent. The broth was irresistible. Oh, this spoon is for scooping the broth! That means... I'll have some more rice, please. The joy of being able to have seconds was a pleasant surprise. The rice was delicious too, sourced from Nanatsuboshi in Hokkaido. The rice was so good, it brought back memories of Hokkaido's starry nights. I asked for half a portion of rice, but a regular portion arrived. Well, I can handle it, no problem. I mixed the leftover beef and tofu with rice and poured the beer stew over it. The result was a bowl full of delight. It may sound a bit crude, but it was seriously delicious. Overall, it was a delightful and enjoyable restaurant. The staff were excellent, and the food was delicious. I had a great time.

This is a store under Food Gate Co., Ltd., which also operates popular restaurants in Ebisu such as "Iro Soba Kaoruya" and "Udon Yamachou". They seem to have a strong commitment to tofu.

The weekly lunch special, Maguro Yamakake, was delicious. The tofu was tasty, with a slight sweetness from the beans that paired well with the various seasonings like salt, truffle salt, and dashi. The tuna had a bit of sinew, but the flavor of the yamakake was satisfying. I considered getting more rice, but after finishing everything, I was already full. The rice was delicious, which was a nice surprise.

I went to a lovely tofu restaurant in Ebisu on a weekday evening! I love tofu so much ❤ The specialty tofu dish, Sora no Tofu, is made right in front of you! The freshly made tofu cut and served by the staff is incredibly smooth and creamy ❤ The tempura assortment was also amazing, crispy and delicious ❤ The Yuba (tofu skin) with sea urchin was a treat for Yuba lovers ❤ The Zuwai crab tofu cream croquette was rich and creamy ❤ And the desserts were incredibly delicious, especially the tofu rare cheesecake, with a rich and smooth tofu flavor added to the cheesecake ❤ Healthy and perfect for girls! Definitely worth a visit! ❤

I visited this stylish restaurant for lunch and noticed that there were many women. The menu seemed to cater to women's preferences with a healthy vibe. I would like to visit again for dinner next time. It was convenient being close to Ebisu station. The staff members were friendly and welcoming.

The weather was perfect, so we sat on the terrace. We ordered mostly drinks, as well as firefly squid, tempura, tofu made right in front of us using soy milk, and more. The alcohol selection is pretty standard, but the food was consistently good, making it a great spot for drinks after work with friends.

On a day when I became a dinner refugee and couldn't find anywhere to go, I wandered around and found a restaurant with an available counter seat. It was very crowded and noisy, and the food took a while to come out, but it was quite delicious. The portion sizes were small, perfect for a light meal. If I had been really hungry, it might not have been enough.

I arrived at the restaurant on Saturday afternoon around 11:30. It was not crowded. The interior was spacious, clean, and stylish. They offer not only lunch but also drinks and small dishes, making it convenient. I had the deep-fried tofu set meal, which was delicious with smooth tofu. The tofu gelato was surprisingly tasty.

Opened as Sora no Niwa in 2002, this place has a delicious and relaxing atmosphere. In the past, I used to invite various people and visited so often that my night stamp card was filled. I think they didn't serve lunch back then. I hadn't been there for a while, and the restaurant had been closed for a long time, but it reopened last year as Sora no. When I visited after the renovation, the atmosphere had completely changed to a stylish cafe, with a spacious counter and a welcoming atmosphere for women dining alone. On this day, I had the following (including tax): - Chicken thigh teriyaki set meal for 1,150 yen. It came with rice, miso soup, salad, and potato salad. I was planning to have a tofu-based lunch, but I ended up craving meat. The chicken thigh teriyaki had a rich flavor, perfect for rice or even as a side dish with alcohol (although I wasn't drinking). It's really a great accompaniment to drinks. The lunch also came with homemade silk tofu, which had a hint of sweetness and was delicious on its own or with salt or soy sauce. The portion was on the smaller side, more suitable for women, and might not be filling enough for men. I finished it quickly, but I was satisfied with the tasty meal. It's important to eat healthy sometimes. It seems like the place can also be used as a cafe, and the tofu cheesecake looked tempting. I would like to visit again.

A shop located one street off a main street about 5 minutes from Ebisu Station. I was drawn to the stylish appearance and decided to have lunch there. The spacious and clean interior allowed me to relax. Although it is a tofu shop, they also offer meat and fish dishes, with a wide variety on the menu. It seems like all lunch sets come with tofu. The tofu, served with a creamy soy sauce, was delicious. There were also many dessert options, so I would like to come back for tea time next time.

Today I encountered another great restaurant!! Recommended for those who are: - Dining alone or with a group - Looking for a casual date spot, hanging out with friends - Interested in drinking parties, girls' night out, all-you-can-drink options - Terrace seating available If you're interested, don't forget to save this by clicking on the ribbon icon in the bottom right corner for future reference. Nimono Tofu Hamburger Set Meal 1180 yen (tax included) *Cash, credit card, and PayPay payment accepted Content: The restaurant focuses on making tofu without using additives or coagulants, aiming to convey the deliciousness of traditional tofu-making techniques. The set includes homemade silk tofu, white rice, miso soup, bean sprout namul (presumably), salad, and hamburger. Taste: Each dish showed attention to detail and was delicious. The tofu was delicate and slightly sweet. The soy sauce used was not the usual one, with a hint of sweetness, adding a unique touch. Despite being made with tofu, the hamburger was juicy and satisfying, with a rich and tangy sauce that paired perfectly with the rice. The dressing for the salad, the tofu in the miso soup, the seasoning of the bean sprouts, and even the rice were all carefully prepared. Highly recommended for those with similar tastes! Other Menu: Check out the cafe time (including lunch) and dinner menus on food review websites. Atmosphere: The restaurant was renovated around November last year and gives off a cozy Japanese cafe vibe with warm wooden tones and a clean environment. Seating: Tables and counters available Crowdedness: At 1:10 PM on a weekday, there were many customers already seated. Customers: Mainly in their 20s to 70s, with more women than men. Solo diners were also present. COVID-19 Measures: Hand sanitizers were available, and there is a terrace for outdoor seating. Service: The staff provided a warm and attentive service that matched the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant. From the welcoming greeting to the farewell, they made sure to convey a smile and encourage customers to visit again. With a diverse customer base, including foreigners and elderly patrons, this restaurant offers a lovely space to enjoy healthy and delicious meals. A great option for those looking to dine out without any worries!

Since getting infected with COVID-19, this place had been closed for a long time due to self-restraint in business and renovations. I think it had been closed for over two years, haha. I had been meaning to go since it reopened last year, but I finally made it. The interior used to have a Japanese-style with sunken kotatsu-style seating, but now it's stylish. There's also an open kitchen, adding to the sense of openness. The specialty of the menu is tofu and a wide variety of tempura dishes. The à la carte menu is also extensive. This time, I tried the famous Sorano tofu that takes about 20 minutes to cook at the table, as well as tempura items like egg yolk, maitake mushroom, new potatoes, lotus root, young taro sprouts, and tai chikuwa. I also ordered a mixed appetizer plate from the à la carte menu. The Sorano tofu was warm and sweet. It goes really well with salt and yuzu. The tempura comes with tempura dipping sauce, but I prefer salt. The new potatoes come with curry salt. Personally, I loved the young taro sprouts. They are only available this season and have a fluffy top and thick, tender base. It's great to be able to eat seasonal vegetables. For dessert, I had soy milk gelato and soy milk cheesecake. The soy milk gelato has a pure soy milk flavor with no sweetness, but adding salt brings out the sweetness. The cheesecake has a good balance of soy milk and cheese, and the kinako cookie base at the bottom adds a nice flavor. The portions are generous and the cost performance is high. Thank you for the delicious meal!

A tofu cuisine restaurant near Ebisu Station. The place has a stylish cafe-like appearance, and the healthy dishes seem to attract a lot of female customers. This time, I ordered the tofu cream croquette set meal. The cream is thick and doesn't flow out when cut, maintaining its shape. Surprisingly, it's quite firm. It's about half the size of a block of tofu. It's served with salt, olive salt, or dashi soy sauce. I found that the olive salt worked best as it enhances the sweetness of the tofu. I plan to come back regularly.

The restaurant's stylish appearance caught my attention for a while, so I finally visited for dinner. The place is thoroughly designed to appeal to women, and it seemed popular for girls' nights out and group dates. The atmosphere was very nice and comfortable. It might be a hit with young women. The fact that the dishes feature tofu also helps alleviate any guilt. Thank you very much!

I have been visiting "Karano" in Shibuya for many years, but I recently went to the Ebisu branch after it was renovated. It's located about a 5-minute walk from Ebisu Station, on a stylish street just off the main road. I arrived at 1:30 pm and was able to be seated right away as people who had finished their meals were leaving. When I asked the staff for their lunch recommendation, they suggested the "Silken Tofu Set Meal" as the first thing to try, which was the cheapest option at 1,000 yen. The meal that came out was luxurious. The silken tofu can be enjoyed as is, with rock salt, olive oil and pepper, or with dashi soy sauce for different flavors. The freshly fried silken tofu was delicious, especially when dipped in the scallion soy sauce. The restaurant seems to be popular among nearby office ladies and housewives, as I overheard a lady next to me saying, "It's been getting crowded lately." It seems like a popular spot for women, and I would like to visit for dinner as well. It's also a cafe, so it's a versatile place. Overall, it was a delightful meal.

I finally made it here after taking a break for a while. I ordered the Kinugoshi Age Set Meal. The fried tofu is delicious. It's thick, crispy on the outside, and has a satisfying texture. The rice goes well with it too. The tofu is also tasty. The truffle salt, regular salt, and soy sauce with dashi provide interesting flavor variations. I didn't know this, so my pace was all over the place, but it seems they offer free rice refills and upsizing! I found out from a group of customers who came later. This time I focused on tofu, but they also have set meals with meat and fish. However, today I wanted to fully enjoy the tofu.

There used to be a tofu cuisine restaurant called Sora no Niwa at the same location, and now another tofu cuisine restaurant has opened. While the previous one had a traditional Japanese style, this new one has a stylish cafe atmosphere. It is operated by the same group company. Feeling like having a snack at 3 o'clock, I ordered tofu rare cheesecake and roasted green tea. The presentation is cute as well. The total was 1230 yen, which is reasonable in Ebisu. The rare cheesecake has a slight tofu-like taste... maybe because I knew it was made with tofu. The acidity of the cheesecake is mellowed out. The atmosphere is nice, and the staff were friendly. I would like to visit again for lunch next time.

I went to Karano Ebisu store. I ordered the Soy Milk Crab Cream Croquette set meal for 1100 yen. The croquette was crispy with a strong umami flavor and paired perfectly with the crab miso mayonnaise. The side dish of beef simmered in soy milk sauce was elegant and delicious. I enjoyed the tofu with olive salt. I was surprised by how well the olive salt complemented the tofu. The miso soup had a perfect level of richness with white miso, making it comforting. Eating this kind of set meal occasionally makes me feel purified, but I realize once again that my usual unhealthy eating habits are not good. It was a quiet and calming restaurant.

I visited after a long time. The yuba salad and homemade tofu were as delicious as ever ^_^ The shrimp shumai wrapped in yuba, which was a unique dish, was incredibly delicious!! I feel like the menu has changed a bit since the old days. Maybe the owner has changed...? It seems like there is also a shop in Shibuya. I remember there used to be various types of soy milk cocktails, but it's a lovely and elegant restaurant that I really like ^_^

A tofu shop located about a 5-minute walk from Ebisu Station East Exit. It's a grateful place where you can enjoy healthy set meals. The shop has a stylish atmosphere with a Japanese-style exterior and interior, which seems to be popular among women. The set meal comes with silky tofu. It's a rare tofu specialty shop in Tokyo. Popular tofu dishes such as tofu hamburger and deep-fried tofu are lined up. I ordered the deep-fried tofu set meal for 980 yen. The outside is crispy and golden brown. Inside, the tofu is smooth and pure white. It's delicious when dipped in the rich broth. The tofu here is truly special, being homemade and different from the tofu found in supermarkets. The taste and atmosphere are both excellent. It's a kind set meal shop that I would want to visit every day. Thank you for the meal.
