Itsuki Tofu Miso-zuke (Miso-marinated Tofu)
With just one bite, it feels remarkably like cheese. A thick, rich umami and the deep savory notes of miso spread slowly across your tongue. Itsuki Tofu Miso-zuke is a preserved food handed down in the deep mountains of Itsuki Village. In an era before refrigerators, it was created as a way to preserve a precious source of protein. By squeezing the moisture out of firm tofu and marinating it in high-salt miso for about six months, a rich flavor reminiscent of sea urchin or cheese is created. It is a prestigious dish said to have been brought by the remnants of the Heike clan who fled after their defeat in the Genpei War. A rich fermented food from the home of the 'Itsuki Lullaby'. Please enjoy a slice, perhaps alongside a glass of sake.
