Koya tofu was a side dish that often appeared on the table since I was a child. It is rich in protein and contains a lot of iron and calcium, so it is a reliable food for children’s growth. You’ll want to eat it not only for everyday meals, but also for special occasions such as New Year’s dishes and Doll’s Festival.
I learned that there are many different arrangements that can be made, and I’m currently taking on the challenge, but I’m also looking forward to your ideas!

Kouya tofu, which is high in protein, low in fat, and rich in iron, is mixed with a sweet and spicy sauce that is loved by both children and adults to make Isobeyaki♪ By incorporating the seasoning, it does not get dry, and is a dish that goes well with the meal and has a perfect texture! Kouya tofu contains many nutrients that sports kids and growing children should eat, so it is one of the foods that you should actively include on your table.

Many people think of Kouya tofu as being used in Japanese cuisine, but it’s also delicious in Western cuisine! By wrapping koya tofu with meat, it transforms into a hearty and filling main-class side dish, even with a small amount of meat. Plus, it’s low in sugar and high in protein! Supplements approximately 65% of the protein required per day ♪ (for women)

Stuff minced meat into the rehydrated koya tofu, simmer it, and finish with plenty of thickened bean paste! This is a dish that absorbs the dashi soup well and spreads in your mouth. Kouya tofu is said to be rich in high-quality protein and also contains iron and calcium, so it’s packed with nutrients that are important for building your body. I think this is an ingredient that children who are in the prime of their lives would want to eat!

It doesn’t have the crunchy texture of koya tofu, and has a fluffy finish, so even people who don’t like koya tofu can enjoy it. It is high in protein and calcium, and has a satisfying taste but is low in calories, so it is also recommended for people on a diet♪ In addition, koya tofu and dairy products are rich in calcium, which Japanese people tend to lack, so just eating delicious food will help your child’s growth. It also helps prevent osteoporosis in women! Full of flavor and nutrition! “Koya tofu” is a traditional Japanese superfood High protein! Rich in high-quality vegetable protein

Koya tofu, which is extracted and concentrated from soybeans, which are known as “meat of the field,” is rich in nutrients.
Approximately half of the ingredients are high-quality vegetable proteins. It is rich in protein that builds important muscles (the content per piece is equivalent to 240ml of milk) and is effective in preventing frailty.
Furthermore, it is rich in calcium and iron, which are necessary for maintaining beauty and health.

Eating too much sugar can lead to diabetes and obesity, but koya tofu is characterized by a very low amount of sugar compared to grains and potatoes. By using Koya tofu instead of flour when making sweets, you can easily cut down on carbohydrates, and it can also be used as a substitute for meat, so it can be used in a variety of healthy recipes depending on how you arrange it.

Koya tofu is a representative of Japanese cuisine, and we wanted to “convey Japanese food culture and rediscover its wonders,” and “welcome a healthy New Year with your family with Osechi cuisine.” We have designated November 3rd, which is the 58th day of the year, as “Koya Tofu Day.”
*The name “Koya tofu” is stipulated as “frozen tofu” according to food labeling standards, but it is also commonly known as “Koya tofu” and “Simi tofu.”
