A New Era of Indulgence: The Mini Pack

The “Asia Sabou Rich Melting Annin Tofu Mini Pack” (70g x 4) offers a smaller, more intimate serving of authentic annin tofu. Designed for those who appreciate the rich flavor in more modest portions, this mini-pack features a slower-melting texture that enhances the creamy richness and the “gorgeous apricot kernel aroma.” This ensures a satisfying experience even in a compact 70g serving.
