The fluffy and creamy tofu "soybean soup" is delicious! A popular tofu store in Fukuoka opens a "tofu cafe" in Kurume
Hello♪ I'm chippachapus and I love going to cafes.
This time, we will introduce Mamefuji Kurume store, which opened on May 10, 2023!
Mamefuji Kurume Branch, a traditional Japanese cafe where you can enjoy healthy set meals using handmade tofu every morning (Kurume City)
Mamefuji, a long-established tofu store founded in 1921 in Hirao, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, has opened a cafe in Higashi-Kushihara-cho, Kurume City, specializing in set meals.
It is a 17-minute walk from Nishitetsu Kurume Station and a 2-minute walk from the Nishitetsu Bus "Kushiharacho" stop.

The tofu is made using a method that has been handed down for generations, and you can taste it being carefully made every morning at a factory in Yame.

The interior of the store is modeled after an old-fashioned Japanese house, and is decorated with items that evoke nostalgia, such as black telephones and blackboards.

In addition to the tatami room, there are five tables.

The fluffy and creamy tofu in this irresistible "soybean soup" is a must-try! A set meal you'll want to eat every day
There are two set meal menus: the "Mamejiru Teishoku" (715 yen), which comes with a large bean soup, rice, and either deep-fried tofu or cold tofu, and the "Mamefuji Teishoku" (715 yen), which comes with a small bean soup, rice, and three daily side dishes.
You can also order additional side dishes and prepared foods (a few more are shown in the photo below).

This time, we added "Fried tofu (Yuzu)" (143 yen) and "Pork cutlet" (495 yen) to the "Mamefuji set meal." *There are also dishes that are not shown in the photo.

The bean soup is made by combining pork bone soup cooked with soy milk with homemade miso, and is filled with plenty of tofu and vegetables.

The tofu was cut into large pieces, and had a fluffy and creamy texture that was irresistible. The soup was creamy! The flavor of the vegetables was infused into it, giving it a rich and sweet taste.
It goes perfectly with yuzu pepper, so be sure to try them together.

There are five types of fried tofu available: silk, green onion and chili pepper, yuzu, shiso, and sesame.

This is yuzu fried tofu. It's crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. After the gentle sweetness of the tofu, the refreshing flavor of yuzu spreads softly.

The pork cutlet was thick, tender and juicy. The sweetness of the meat spread throughout my mouth and was delicious.

The other thing I ordered was the "Mamefuji Set Meal" (small bean soup, rice, and three daily side dishes), with the addition of "Thick Fried Tofu (Shiso)" (143 yen) and "Fried Horse Mackerel" (495 yen). *There are other dishes not shown in the photo.

The shiso deep-fried tofu was delicious, with a subtle shiso flavor that accentuated the gentle sweetness of the tofu.

The fried horse mackerel had a crispy batter and fluffy meat! It was so delicious that it made me want to eat more rice.

Another dish you should definitely try is the "Okara Croquette" (165 yen).
Image: chippachapus
Apparently it's made only from soybean pulp and vegetables, so it had a strong flavor even without any seasoning. The batter was crispy, and the sweetness spread with every bite.

Tofu and various prepared foods are also available for take-out.
They were all healthy and delicious, something I would want to eat every day!
