Saga doofu 嵯峨豆腐 Tofu from Saga


mukashidoofu むかし豆腐
old-fashioned tofu (touhu)
Made by the shop Morika 森嘉（もりか）near Shakado Hall (Seiryo-ji Temple).
It is made with sumashi-ko すまし粉）, sekko, a kind of calcium sulfate instead of nigari. This dates back to a time after the war when they could not get any real nigari and had to find a substitute.
The store uses only the old equipment and all is made by hand.
Kawabata Yasunari was fond of this hard tofu.
