Godiva is a kind of corporations that’s so well-known for its flagship product that you simply don’t even have to say what it’s. Tell anyone “Someone gave me a box of Godiva,” for instance, they usually’ll instantly perceive that you simply’re speaking about chocolate.
However, along with making chocolate, Godiva Japan can be concerned in making tofu.
The Japanese division of the Belgian chocolatier hasn’t ventured into this subject all by itself, nevertheless. Instead, they’ve partnered with Fujiya…a Japanese confectionary firm that additionally isn’t recognized for making tofu. However, the tofu the 2 corporations created was so standard that each one obtainable inventories rapidly offered out when it went on sale final December. With a restock lastly occurring, although, we had been decided to not miss out this time, particularly since there are actually two kinds of Godiva tofu being offered, and so we snatched up one in every of every as quickly as we noticed them at our native grocery store.
Both of them are kinds of gomadofu, or sesame tofu, and first up on our style take a look at record is Godiva’s customary Chocolat Gomadofu. The tofu comes packaged in its personal little cup, like an individual-serving pudding, however we determined to get fancy and plate it.
Doing so revealed that there are two layers to this angular but delicate deal with. Flipped the other way up onto a dish like this, the highest part is a layer of milk chocolate cream, and beneath it’s a stratum of sesame tofu with darkish couverture chocolate (excessive cocoa butter-percentage chocolate).
We took a chew, and positive sufficient, this had quick and apparent parts of gomadofu and Godiva chocolate. The texture is precisely what you’d get with sesame tofu, however the taste is the scrumptious and complicated sweetness of Godiva chocolate. The general impact is a bit paying homage to consuming chocolate mouse, however with a extra substantial consistency with a bit further attractive stickiness to it.
Thoroughly happy, we moved on to the brand new Godiva tofu taste: sakura chocolate.
Once once more, the underside layer (as soon as the tofu is flipped over onto a plate) is darkish couverture chocolate sesame tofu. Now, although, the highest is a chocolate cream enhanced with the flavour of cherry blossoms, a salty, faintly floral sweetness. We had been just a bit frightened that Godiva and Fujiya is perhaps pushing the envelope a bit too far right here, what with tofu, sesame, two sorts of chocolate, and now sakura taste too, but it surely seems that all these items come collectively in such a good looking concord that we had been very completely satisfied we made room for throughout the bust sakura sweets tasting season that’s now upon us.
Both of Godiva’s chocolate tofu sorts are priced at 350 yen and obtainable at supermarkets throughout Japan. This batch is scheduled to be on sale till April 30, so we’ll positively be choosing up just a few extra, particularly if we have to convey one thing particular to a cherry blossom viewing occasion later this month.
