The basis of food is “soybean”. Tofu is made from squeezed soymilk after mashing and boiling soybeans. A lot of nutrition remains in the pomace that squeezes plenty of soy beans. Japanese people do not mix fried okara with soup stock and eat tofu as it is, fry it up, make it deep fried, freeze it tofu, etc. I ate protein every day as a soy dish. For Japanese people, miso soup using miso made from soybeans, and cold sushi and tofu dishes with soy sauce made from soybeans are the basic home cooking that is essential. It is a course where you can enjoy the basics of Japanese cuisine by making tofu that can be said to be a synonym for Japanese cuisine and tasting a variety of processed soybean dishes.
