Easiest Way to Royal Tasty Hiyayakko Surprise

Easiest Way to Royal Tasty Hiyayakko Surprise Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Hiyayakko Surprise. Hiyayakko (冷奴) is Japanese chilled tofu that is served as an appetizer or side dish. The smooth silky and creamy texture of the tofu helps to cool the body and makes a delightful respite on a sweltering day.. but to my surprise, this was the dish that made me really understand the real taste of good quality tofu. I thought silicon cups could be used for other purposes besides baking.

You could replace the shiso leaves with shredded nori seaweed.

Swich up the toppings for fun!

I used to serve this dish back in the Red Ginger days.

Hiyayakko [Shonichi] Summary: Her life hasn't been boring for a long while, but she never expected this.

This is the "true" start to the Accomplice: Rise series, Ablaze Curtana of the Star was more of an extra tidbit.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the series and Rise's altered adventure with the IT; oh, and Adachi, of course.
