Tofu Day Dinner

Mari Taketa, Scott Pang

Put on your seatbelts as Chef Hiro takes you on a sumptuous journey with this first ever Tofu Day Dinner. The feast features handmade artisan tofu created specially for the evening, paired with luxuriant ingredients like uni, pork belly and aonori sauce that will surely make your taste buds go wild! The journey transitions with a palate-cleansing course of fresh grapes and asparagus dipped in fragrant shira-ae. And then, the stars of the evening. The traditional finale rice course features a special treat rarely seen in Hawaii: fresh silken yuba made by Aloha Tofu's Paul Uyehara. How rare? This is just the third time he'll be making this and the first time in five years. We look forward to celebrating with you at the very first Tofu Dinner!
