Our worst fear that weather would drop below freezing temperature during our stay in Nagoya became a reality this afternoon but surprisingly, there was no snow. Not that it would have affected our lunch plans to visit Mameya Genge (豆家本店) anyways.
After being greeted by the hostess at the reception, we were led down the stairs through a dark corridor into a dining area in the basement.
A quick selfie (via our tripod) later, we start to prepare ourselves for our order.
Tofu, a great source of protein, is a staple in Japanese cuisine. It's also what Mameya Genge is touted for - tofu cuisine. But first, a drink before the meal - soya bean milk with a piece of ice.
Our set began with some freshly made tofu with bonito flakes and spring onion on top.
I thought each and every dish would be made with tofu but as it turned out, there were some sashimi that came as an appetizer.
More tofu.....
My main dish was miso glazed cod fish. Not bad.
Wrapping things up for us was a scoop of homemade black bean ice-cream.
