On the Menu: The Elements of Tofu

At tomorrow night's dinner for JBF Greens—our programming series for foodies under 40—guests will get a taste of the Japanese tradition of tofu. Chef Hiroki Abe of EN Japanese Brasserie will create a five-course seated tasting menu that showcases the many forms of fresh tofu and its rich history and artistry. Sake expert Kazuhide Yamazaki of Japan Prestige Sake International will pair a delectable sake with each course, and guests will also enjoy Stella Artois, Leffe, and Hoegaarden beers. Tickets are a steal at $55, so call 212-627-2308 or 1-800-36-BEARD to reserve your seat. View the full menu after the jump.
