Selected Tofu

Selected Tofu

Overview

Choko Tofu is a local dessert in my family. When I was a kid, every family would make some tofu in summer to relieve the heat. The process of picking seeds from the mountains in autumn, drying them, and filtering them into powder is also very complicated. Nowadays, the conditions are not as good as before. No one will go to the mountains to pick Seiko anymore, and there are not so many Seiko powders. However, my family still has the custom of eating Seiko tofu in summer. You can buy it at the market, but it cannot be all made from Seiko powder and other flours will be added. So I will go to my friends in the mountains to buy some home-made real sage powder and make my own sedge tofu.
