In Japan tofu is not just a meat substitute.
Well some funky things are done with it in North America too but this dish seemed like something you wouldn’t find out West (East). A slightly sweet (mirin) hot mixture of tofu, beef, and half cooked egg. It was really delicious.
It was eaten at がんこ (ganko) - a restaurant somewhere near the river with fairly reasonable prices, flowers in the front…
…and a really beautiful garden in the back.
