Last weekend, there was a tofu festival and we decided to go. It was a nice day as we enjoyed eating tofuyaki, tofu musubi, and watching the live acts. Here are some highlights of the day:
JapaCurry Food truck had some yummy dishes. I didn't try any of the curry, but decided I would make my own for dinner during the week. I instead tried this tofu green tea tiramisu which was absolutely delicious!
As always, the beautiful Peace Plaza Pagoda in Japantown.
Free natto samples. Although I didn't try it since I still can't get over the smell. Have any of you tried it? Is it like the smell or nothing like it?
Open for business! Irashaimaseee!
All types of tofu
There was a tofu panda!
Also, I wanted to share with you that I did all the photo editing on this website: picmonkey.com. That's right! This was not done on instagram! They also have other editing tools such as adding overlays, adjusting the exposures, etc.
I found the website through ishtarolivera who's blog you should definitely check out! She has amazing content ranging from crafts to mail to stamps to everything Im sure you all love!
Cute! Japantown exists where you live? No such thing exists here where I live....we have a Chinatown though? haha. Greetings from Sydney!
ReplyDeleteHello island-shll! thanks for stopping by! haha, yeah we are very lucky to have a japantown here in san francisco. I love it and go there all the time!
Deleteyeaaaah picmonkey definitely is the best! I used picnik before, but picmonkey is such a great 'replacement'. I love the little cat at the open sign, so cute!
ReplyDeleteI know! I just discovered this photo editing site. I am hoping it stays free!!
DeleteOh my, I need a Japantown near me...
ReplyDeletehaha, yes! japantown is the best :D We are spoiled to have one here!
DeleteThanks for sharing this as I didn't know such an event existed. We do have an international market in the summer and around Christmas that offer a variety of food vans but I can never try the food due to them using meat which is quite sad. It all looks so interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great day :)
Aww, that's too bad about the food vans not having non-meat foods where you live! Hopefully they will start festivals like this where you live! It was a lovely day indeed. thanks for stopping by!
Deletewow a tofu festival? sounds so awesome cos I love tofu!
ReplyDeleteYou would have loved it then if you like tofu :D
DeleteWow tofu panda is sooo cute! I wish we had a japantown in the UK!
ReplyDeleteI use pic monkey too! I love how its free and very fast to use!

i know, we're too lucky to have one here. I'm there all the time! and yes, pic monkey is great - it makes my pictures look a lot better than what they would be. thanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteHahaha! A tofu festival? Cool! I did try natto one of the times I went to Japan to visit. My family and I lived in Argentina, but dad is Japanese and I must say that the one he ate in Argentina stunk pretty bad. However, the one I tried in Japan had a very mild smell (almost imperceptible) and it tasted good; not my favorite dish, though.
ReplyDeleteSince you're into a lot of Japanese stuff, let me ask you something. Do you love Mameshibas? I so freaking love them, haha!
omg, YES, I love Mameshibas!!
DeleteEvery christmas, I bug my husband by watching this video on repeat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOtVbLvAgyw -- they're just so cute! I also love the natto and edamame videos a lot... which is why I was curious about the natto.
Definitely share with me your cute mameshiba finds whenever you come across them!
A tofu festival sounds like the best birthday party theme ever. I wish I could throw a tofu birthday party festival every year for myself. :)
ReplyDeleteyou should do it!! it'd be fun :D
Deletei appreciate you stopping by!!
