Shirohotaru Tofu Shop

The tofu, made with home-grown soybeans, natural bittern and natural water, and hand-fried rapeseed oil, has a rich and very gentle taste. In our soybean cultivation, we do not seek to produce high yields, but rather to grow soybeans in a way that is close to nature, coexisting with the grass, microorganisms, and insects that naturally grow in the fields without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. This is a very ambitious theme, but we are serious about it. Although we started this tofu store as we were led, we hope to play a part in making people, the earth, and the planet healthier. In addition, in April 2016, we opened our second store, White Hotaru Kitchen, in Hatsuji City Garden, a direct sales area in the town of Karuizawa. The restaurant offers a healthful menu made with plant-based ingredients, including sugar-free "drinking tofu," enzyme brown rice with creamy soybean milk miso soup, and "mochi mochi brown rice bread" made with home-grown wheat and thick tofu mixed with enzyme brown rice. 　Shiro Hotaru Kitchen URL: http://www.karuizawa.jp.net/kitchen/
