Shigesato Itoi Tries Strawberry Tofu

This is hilarious

Forgive my ignorance, but does tofu have much of a flavor on its own? I thought it might be something like soy milk – a bit of a blank slate. And strawberry soy milk actually sounds kinda appetizing…

Dang it, now I need to find out if that exists.

Tofu basically soaks up the flavor of whatever it’s cooked with.

Next to Itoi’s picture, it says “korewa sugoi.” But “sugoi” is in katakana. What’s up with that? Is that emphatic, like all-caps in English? Like “this is AWESOME!!!”? I’ve only known katakana being used for hiragana words when a robot is speaking or the word is written/spoken in the future.

I do wish they had kept it as Strawberry Tofu in EB. Or I wish that it had been Trout Yogurt in EB0 and the M3 translation. I just like continuity…

Yeah, it’s just emphasis, like all-caps or italics for us.

Mmmm Tofu yum.

Now I’m envious… I really wish I could find a recipe for Strawberry Tofu.

You could make a strawberry tofu smoothie. They’re not terrible uncommon, and they’re decent enough. Here’s a recipe that sounds about right: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Strawberry-Tofu-Smoothies

Note that it’s very important that you get *silken* tofu for this. Unless you like gritty chunks in your smoothie.

As for the flavour of tofu, it surely does have a flavour of its own, but it’s very mild, which is really what one should expect from bean curd. It is readily disguised by other flavours.

Without knowing what it was, the picture made it look pretty tasty, actually I’d try it sometime…

If it sounds horrible, then it’s only natural for it to taste horrible xD

I wanna try now!

can anyone remind me who this was. somebody on starmen.net made his family eat strawberry tofu. he made a video of it on youtube. it was for pk tube N (I think)I believe… I could be wrong. either way the video… I believe was just pictures of what he did for christmas. but it was hilarious. that he forced his family to eat tofu with strawberry’s on it. no prep. just raw tofu. it looked so gross. and I couldn’t help but laugh at his family suffering.

I ate mango tofu once and it was fine. So surely strawberry tofu is ok.

Yummy~

Haha, poor Itoi. I remember on nicodouga a few fans had videos where they made their own version of Strawberry Tofu. It actually looked rather delicious to me!

@Anonymous, Starwberry tofu is actually pretty good to me. It tasts like a foemy strawberry. And look at your comment in the recent comment thing. IT says you said it March 10th 2010 . But I wouldn’t try it though If I were you. A lot of my friends don’t like it.
