Shimedōfu しめ豆腐

History and Origins

When there was a shortage of meat, fish and other things because of food shortages, peas were valued as a source of protein. Soybeans are cooked in various shapes, such as taste and oil, but they were particularly known to the tofu on the horse. Not to mention rich nutrition, cooking will save it if it is cooked, as well as being used in local cooking. This tofu's native flavor is represented by "tofu." It's not easy to taste soy sauce with soy sauce in soy sauce or sugar, but it's eaten mainly as a celebration meal, such as a festival or a phrase. Among the local dishes with tofu are "tofu tofu" made from a mixture of tofu for rice. By the way, group horses are now working on the strategy of encouraging basic technologies, expanding stable trade with contract growth, and promoting large-scale production of beans for the purpose of eradicating high quality beans. The tofu made with a sticky prefecture soy is also used as part of the town's start, and it is also popular outside of the province.

When It Is Eaten

It is believed that it was made during the festival season in the city of Nagano. Or even in Kobe, we were known for cooking for strangers and for days of war. Each home brought home-made beans, and the wives in the neighborhood were making them by hand. Now it is easy to obtain animal proteins, such as meat, and eat less food. It's becoming a rare native dish.

How It Is Eaten

We wrap the tofu around it and make it into a bowl and taste it with sesame oil and sugar. It's common to slice and eat like a barnacle. It was treated as one of the cooking utensils. It's characterized by a sense of viscosity.
