I always felt that eating tofu was a little like trying eating air, great for a diet but not to the palate. The other day I nonetheless went to Aoyama Kamahachi, an eccentricity if you think it's a restaurant whose menu is based on tofu. Just tofu. Only the Japanese can get away with this sort of thing.
The place, located near Spiral building, is elegant and classy in a very Japanese way, but the atmosphere is sort of spoiled by continuous bustling and voices. The main thing here is a 4500 yen menu, which comprises six entries. Of those, I remember tofu with unagi, stewed tofu and vegetables, and tofu ice-cream. Service was very good and the waiter-owner very kind. All in all a pleasant experience that I can recommend to all of you who are into things Japanese. According to a friend, it's open also for lunch but it's good only at dinner.

Aoyama Kamahachi, whose sign is of course in Japanese only, is next to exit B3 of Subway Omotesando station, few meters to the left of Spiral building.
