Sanharu Sankaku Aburaage (Miharu Triangular Fried Tofu)
A specialty of Miharu Town, this is a plump and thick triangular piece of fried tofu. It is said to be shaped after the sight of cranes flying over Maizuru Castle (Miharu Castle). In Miharu, where many temples are located, tofu cuisine has been developed since ancient times, and this fried tofu is one such example. A famous anecdote remains that the lord of the Miharu Domain enjoyed 'Horoku-yaki'—where green onions are stuffed into the slits and grilled using a cast-iron tool called a 'horoku'—during his falconry excursions. It is considered sophisticated to enjoy it with seasonal miso: butterbur bud miso in spring, and yuzu miso in autumn and winter. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, it is delicious whether grilled with miso or used in simmered dishes, making it a popular item for mail order.
