Manly Tofu

November 16, 2006 on 9:09 am | In Food, Humor | | Email This Post

Who said shopping for groceries couldn’t be fun?

Otokomae Tofu is the most exciting, most manly Tofu in Japan. Check out that website, it’s hilarious.

The tofu package has the character for MAN (男) proudly displayed on the cover.

According to our favorite online dictionary, OTOKOMAE (男前) means “studmuffin”.

  • 男前
      studmuffin // studola

The flash powered website asks, “Are you jonile tonight?”

Are you?

I’m manly. Boil my tofu, and put soy sauce on it. Sometimes, I use ponzu, or even put sliced green onions on top.

I’m a chef. Tofu is cheap (207 yen at my grocery store).

    I have never had this manly tofu though. I have to buy the cheap stuff as I’m a student… Is it really so much better than regular tofu!?

    Manly Tofu is not so expensive!! You can find them at big groceries stores in Tokyo, maybe conbini as well.
    I didn’t pay over 200 yen for my manly tofu.

    yes Otokomae Tofu is really nice. I like 風に吹かれて豆腐屋ジョニー too.

    since I first ate these tofu I haven’t eaten regular one. The taste is totally different!
