Trails to Oishii Tokyo

YUBA

Yuba is the thin film that forms when soymilk is heated. It's rich in protein and nutrients and is essential in Buddhist cuisine. We visit temple-filled Kyoto, where yuba has long been a prized ingredient used in everything from high-end cuisine to home cooking. We visit a yuba producer founded over 300 years ago to discover how it's made, and enjoy yuba dishes at a world heritage temple and traditional Kyoto restaurants. In Tokyo, we see how yuba can be used in even French cuisine.
