Have you ever imagined tofu cheesecake? Tofu ice cream? Miso chocolate cake and brownies?
Well, if the desserts caught your heart, than you must try this dessert bar called Kyotofu, which is located in Hell's Kitchen.
This place is inspired by the soy beans that is used to make tofu, miso paste (for miso soup), soy milk, and other soy based products. In an area called Kyoto, which is the traditional (or historical) area in Japan, there are many tofu artisans who make soy- based food. Bringing the tofu idea and adding a touch of American taste, this place is not just an ordinary dessert place. It's a place where you feel like you are eating cheesecake, but it's tofu. I know it sounds weird, but I can assure you it's really good. When I go to Kyoto, I always get the tofu ice cream which is sold in stores, and I love it!
They change their menues each season, but they usually have the signature sweet tofu, which melts in your mouth. Tofu cheesecake, anmitsu, and tofu ice cream sundae are other delicious dishes that you may want to try. It's not just the taste, but also the visual that makes this place special. All the desserts are beautifully presented, and you just have to take a picture before you start eating!

The restaurant also has food dishes, but I recommend you just go for desserts here.
