The Origin Story

Editorial

When gently scooped, it wobbles softly and melts smoothly in your mouth.

The natural sweetness of the soybeans spreads gently—this is handmade tofu from Kora Town.

Kora Town is a land blessed with subsoil water from the Suzuka Mountains. It is only through this pure water and Shiga-grown soybeans that such smooth and flavorful tofu can be born. Each freshly prepared block, carefully made using traditional methods, boasts a rich soybean aroma as its hallmark.

It is a delicacy even when eaten plain without any toppings. You can enjoy the sweetness of the soybeans in chilled tofu (hiyayakko) or warm up with hot tofu (yudofu). When added to hot pots or miso soup, the gentle soybean flavor dissolves into the broth. Because it is so simple, you will never tire of it. It is a reliable star of the dining table, nurtured by the waters of Kora.
