Singapore Fujiwara Tofu Concept Shop Opens In Late February
The iconic Fujiwara Tofu Shop may have started off fictional but it’s all very real now. A concept shop bistro based on famed manga and anime series Initial D will be opening in Singapore in February.
The themed café, located at Sims Avenue, will allow customers to step into the world of protagonist Takumi Fujiwara.
And local fans can’t wait to visit. In the past week, many have visited the store to snap some pictures of the café and its cars, also based on the manga.

Check it out for yourself
While this is the first Fujiwara Tofu Concept Shop in Singapore, the concept is not a new one.
Fujiwara Tofu Cafés opened last year in Los Angeles as well as in Subang Jaya, Malaysia.
At these locations, fans are swept into the fictional ‘Initial D’ world with posters, miniature cars, merch, and car models decorations.
It’s a great hangout spot for those who love arcade racing or even just to have a chill meal with friends.
Just like the original tofu shop, the Malaysia Fujiwara Tofu café also serves up tofu-based snacks.
