Yuba – The Film on Top

Do you like tofu? Have you tried yuba? Yuba is often translated to tofu skin, and it’s a thin film of slightly firm film that forms on top of tofu when it is slowly heated.

I can’t cook, but apparently it is possible to make yuba at home.

If you’re in Japan it may take a little hunting but you should be able to find several restaurants that serve yuba, and hopefully a tofu speciality shop that has yuba on te menu. I would 10/10 recommend you give it a try. Yuba is tasty, light, and healthy.

Granted, if you’re really really hungry, yuba isn’t going to fill you up. But it’s a great experience!
