Fresh Yuba

Yuban Sen produces, sells, and serves fresh made yuba tofu. Yuba is a thin layer of tofu skin, delicately pulled off in a large sheet from the surface of cooking tofu cream.

You can eat upstairs. For something extra special, you can make a reservation to make yuba.

Please be careful, this place uses katsuoboshi (fish stock) in all their dashi.

Last order taken at 5 PM

Fresh yuba is one of those things you must try for yourself.

Fresh yuba, yuba rice, yuba roll, fried yuba, and dried yuba! It was so creamy, it was amazing. The quality of their soy beans really stood out. The only things used in making yuba are: water, soy beans, and kelp (a thickening agent).

Textures ranged from creamy, smooth, chewy, to unbelievably complex. This place uses fish stock in their sauces, so please be very careful and come well armed with Japanese phrases.
