For your cultural life in Hiroshima Tōfu 豆腐 It is safe to assume that tofu is one of the most famous Japanese foods. Tofu production was introduced from China in the 7th century. Tofu is made by first soaking soybeans and mashing them into a pulp, then boiling the pulp in water to produce soybean milk (tōnyu). A coagulant called nigari is added to create a curd. This is cut into blocks and used for a variety of dishes. There are two main types of tofu: momendōfu, which is stronger and easier to handle with chopsticks because it is drained through cloth (momen); and kinugoshidōfu, which has a softer, smoother texture. Okara, the pulped bean bran left after straining, is also very nutritious and often cooked with chopped vegetables, such as carrot and burdock. A popular tofu dish in summer is hiyayakko – a cold block of tofu served with soy sauce and spices such as grated ginger, and chopped spring onions. In addition, tōnyu soybean milk is becoming more and more popular as an alternative to cow’s milk. (Abstracted from 『「日本の衣食住」まるごと事典』, pp178-181, IBCパブリッシング). As it happens, hiyayakko is also popular with beer. The “World Beer and Gourmet Stadium 2015” will be held from May 1 to May 10 (see Seasonal Events Information section for more information). Why not try to drink beer with hiyayakko at the venue?.
