Working with natural ingredients in all our drink preparations, one of them that have always captivated us is the seemingly mundane but magically versatile TOFU.

Made from soy beans, Tofu is not only high in protein, iron, and calcium, but has an exceptional ability to absorb flavours through spices and marinades, and yes, even juices.

Did you know that Japanese mothers love to serve hiyayakko (chilled tofu) sprinkled with katsuobushi (bonito flakes) and soy sauce to their families in the height of summer because the simple dish is known to help cool one’s body down? Besides being naturally cooling, tofu is also reputed to be an anti-cancer agent, and a cholesterol combatant, to name a few of its many benefits.
