Koka Tofu

When gently scooped, it wobbles softly before sliding smoothly into your mouth. The natural sweetness of the soybeans and a subtle aroma spread gently across your palate—this is Koka's handmade tofu. The mountainous regions of Koka and Shigaraki, known as the home of the ninja, are blessed with pure water. It is thanks to this high-quality water and locally grown soybeans that the art of tofu making has taken root here. When artisans carefully prepare it using traditional methods, a smooth and flavorful block is created. It is a true delicacy even when eaten plain without any toppings. You can enjoy the sweetness of the soybeans in chilled tofu (hiyayakko), or warm your soul with hot tofu (yudofu). Because of its simple elegance, it is a reliable staple of the Shiga dining table that never grows old.
