Jimami Tofu

Jimami tofu has a smooth, slightly stretchy texture and a mild peanut flavor. The traditional process extracts liquid from peanuts and heats it with starch until it can set in a mold. MAFF describes the dish’s place in celebrations and memorial meals, when peanuts were regarded as a special ingredient. At a restaurant, try a bite with a little of the sauce. The contrast between the smooth piece and the seasoning is the reason to give it its own moment at the table.
