■ Tofu Cooking Workshop

In addition to the tofu-making class held later in the afternoon, we will also offer a workshop focused on cooking with tofu. With just a little extra technique, ordinary tofu can be transformed into a wide variety of delicious dishes.
In this session, we will use locally available tofu to explore different ways to prepare and enjoy it. From how to handle and prep tofu properly, to making dishes such as ganmodoki (Japanese tofu fritters), tofu cream, and tofu smoothies, a tofu specialist visiting from Japan will guide you step-by-step. You’ll learn techniques that bring out tofu’s natural flavor and texture. At the end of the workshop, we’ll enjoy a tasting of the dishes we create together.
Come join us for a delicious and fun tofu experience!

■ Profile of Instructor Ms. Yuki Matsuda

•	Representative Director of the Okara Revitalization Research Institute
•	Expert in Okara Miso
•	Developer of Beautiful Intestine Konjac
•	Host of the soybean cooking and fermentation salon "Komenohana"
•	Operates the membership community "Okalabo"
•	Manages the Izu Soy Project
Ms. Matsuda became interested in the relationship between food and digestion after her son's weaning. She decided to learn about food, taking charge of a one-day café organized by a therapist in Izu Kogen for three years. To meet the requests of vegetarian customers, she studied tofu and became aware of the current state of okara as industrial waste.
With the slogan "Creating value from what is considered worthless," she began her unique research and experimentation on okara miso.
After managing certified courses for other organizations, she became independent in 2018. Her lectures, based on her own research and experiences, have gained support from students.
As of July 2024, she has held 288 okara miso certification courses and workshops, with a total of 1,420 participants. She continues researching to create content that enriches understanding of traditional Japanese cuisine, fermented foods, SDGs, and agriculture through the lens of okara.
