Misuzu Hitokuchino-Koritofu - 135g

Koya tofu is a freeze-dried tofu with a sponge-like texture that becomes soft and flavorful when rehydrated. It is a traditional Japanese ingredient known for its long shelf life and high nutritional value.

Koya tofu is produced by freezing tofu, allowing the internal moisture to crystallize and create a porous structure. The frozen tofu is then dried, resulting in a lightweight, shelf-stable product with a firm yet airy texture.

When rehydrated in hot water or broth, it becomes tender and absorbs flavors deeply, making it ideal for simmered dishes, soups, and plant-based protein applications. It is rich in protein, low in fat, and widely used in Japanese cuisine for both home cooking and commercial foodservice.
