In the heart of Shitamachi, Tokyo's old downtown working-class neighborhood, Sasa-no-yuki has been serving meals based on homemade tofu for the past 300 years. The food is inspired in part by shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine). The basic three-course set menu includes ankake (bean curd in sweet soy sauce), uzumi tofu (scrambled with rice and green tea), and unsui (a creamy tofu crepe filled with sea scallops, shrimp, and minced red pepper). For bigger appetites, there's also an eight-course banquet. The seating is on tatami, and the garden has a waterfall.
