It is also a tourist destination representing Fukui that is visited by more than 500,000 people every year, and the surrounding Monzen-cho, including Eiheiji Temple, is always bustling.
There are various restaurants on Eiheiji's Monzen-dori, and among them, sesame tofu is loved as a staple food at Eiheiji.
When it comes to sesame tofu, it may be common to eat it with soy sauce or wasabi, but the standard Eiheiji sesame tofu is eaten with miso paste.
The smooth texture, flavor of sesame seeds, and the richness of miso go together perfectly.
