About the Beef Tofu Set Meal
The Beef Tofu Set Meal at Yayoi combines the umami of beef and tofu simmered in a carefully crafted dashi broth made from Makurazaki-produced bonito flakes and Hokkaido kombu. The dish is finished with a topping of “hanakezuri,” a blend of two types of aged bonito flakes that deliver a deep, rich flavor and an enticing aroma that stimulates the appetite.
Breaking an egg into the dish midway creates a mellow flavor while preserving the dashi’s fragrance. This set meal is designed to be light and easy to eat, even in hot weather, making it a perfect choice for summer dining.
Yayoi also offers variations including a version with domestic grated yam and options with a side of juicy fried chicken for those wanting extra heartiness. Customers can choose according to their preference and mood.
