【NA】Experience Iya Valley’s specialty “Stone Tofu” (Iwa-dofu)
This is an experience where you can actually feel the weight and size of Iya's specialty “stone tofu.” After holding and breaking the “stone tofu” with your own hands, you can enjoy it with friends, using your favourite condiments.
Carrying tofu was a struggle in the steep mountains of Iya. Iya’s specialty, “stone (iwa) tofu,” is made tough enough to bind with a rope so that it won’t crumble, even if carried on a steep mountain road. The weight of “stone tofu” is about 2 kilograms! Tofu has a rich soy, mildly sweet flavor. Tear it with your hands, add condiments, and enjoy it as a group. (Recommended for 4 people or more) Any food you can’t finish can also be taken home.
At Boke Mart, in addition to stone tofu, it is also possible to order local gourmet foods from Iya, such as “Iya soba” and large deep-fried tofu “Boke-age.”
You can also experience the “tea grinding experience,” where you spin a mortar yourself and drink freshly ground tea.
