The Secret to a Great Tofu Dessert

Delicious fruit & gigantic flowers in the Minami Alps

A few years ago we paid a visit to Yama no Kaju-en fruit farm in Yamanashi Prefecture. The owner there talked to us with deep passion about his different fruit trees, and when we tasted the peaches... WOW! For an instant I was brought back to my childhood, when my grandfather would come home with his own produce, always so full of flavours and aromas.

The plums and peaches we brought back home gave me the inspiration for a new tofu dessert, which I prepared for a friend who is allergic to dairy. The result was really surprising: the intense yet natural sweetness of the fruit made this dessert quite special and soon it became very popular also within my cookery classes.

*Note: There are many fruit farms in the area that are members of a co-op called Kudomonogari. This is one of the farms. Follow this link for driving directions in pictures (Sorry, Japanese only). FAX 055-227-5454 TEL 080-3400-6796
