Tofu to-go
Tofu’s tofu, right? Not exactly.
A uniquely flavorful,
prepared-tofu concept, Makini’s
offers a versatile food service option —
perfect for corporate cafeterias,
hospitality, education and healthcare,
concessions, QSRs and grocery delis
and salad bars. It’s certified organic,
fully-cooked and pre-seasoned with
our proprietary spice blends —
and goes from bean to truck right
here in our Seattle facility.
READY TO ADD TO EVERYTHING
ALL THAT FLAVOR—HOW?
Our frozen tofu, explained.
Unlike other tofu, Makini’s is not just white blocks dipped in marinade. It has a depth of flavor that’s more pronounced and integrated throughout.
CUSTOM SEASONINGS
Flavor is sealed in, because every batch is cooked ahead in our stovetop kettles or smoker.
PRE-COOKED
It arrives fully prepared, ready to crumble, grate, shred or slice to use as a main, side or topper.
GO FORTH & CREATE
You can pan-fry or sauté it, roast it, microwave it or enjoy it cold! Can’t wait to hear your ideas!
WHAT DO I DO WITH IT?
We love that question, because
we’ve got oodles of answers.
Zillions of options. No, really. Think about how you’d use any other protein or meat. You can do all the same things with Makini’s – grill it, fry it, crumble or sauté it. It even works in an air fryer!

Less food waste
Even the package size makes more sense.
Makini’s Tofu leaves our warehouse frozen, arrives frozen, and can stay frozen for up to one year. It slacks beautifully in the refrigerator (in four hours), and unlike other proteins, can go back and forth between freezer/fridge. We also package our tofu in more a usable size for commercial kitchens (12-oz blocks.) Bonus points for less waste!
Who’s behind Makini’s? Makini!
Created by a chef with 20 years in the restaurant industry.
Makini Howell grew up helping her vegan Baba in the kitchen, learning which herbs and spices make the most flavorful blends – which is why a few are named in his honor! She spent 20 years running the vegan favorite, Plum Bistro in Seattle’s Capitol Hill, and authored two cookbooks before launching Makini’s Tofu.
