About

“Luang” means “Yellow bean” in Thai. We spent time in Thai in our 20’s, so we named our Tofu shop “Luang” and opened it in April 2006. The location of our shop, “Ryujin village” is the place where Tofu producing used to be very flourishing before. There are clear rivers where Ayu (Sweetfish) live and a lot of gifts from mountains. While we were producing Tofu with firewood from the mountains, we strongly began to want to share this great nature and lifestyle with everyone. So we reopened our shop as “Tofu & Botanical Kitchen LOIN” and began to express it with dishes.

We boil soybeans with the fire of local wood to make our Tofu. That’s the most unique point of Lion’s Tofu. The heat of firewood makes the soy taste stronger and sweeter. The soybeans are all domestic from Shiga and Shimane prefecture in Japan. We soak and boil it carefully with the natural spring water welling from our garden. This making process is very simple, however, very profound, and the precious culture that has continued without changing in this Ryujin village.
