Yuba is a Japanese delicacy, widely produced in Kyoto and incorporated into many dishes.  Yuba is a tofu skin made by heating soy milk, letting a thin layer form on top of the milk and then gently removing it with chopsticks or long skewers.  Yuba is highly nutritious, has a delicate texture and a cream-yellow color.  It can be eaten as a sashimi or sushi, as deep-fried tofu skin rolls or as fresh Yuba with a dipping sauce.  Our Mentsuyu Sauce, prepared with kombu dashi, mirin, sake and soy sauce, complements the unique flavor of Yuba.  Our fresh Yuba is delicate, nutritious and delectable.
