Around this time, warm days have begun to continue. It's about time you want to eat cold food. Speaking of cool dishes that can be easily eaten, after all "cold tofu". But don't you get tired of the usual soy sauce and condiments? "The standard cold tofu is delicious, but sometimes I want to try something strange ...". We recommend Shoda Shoyu's "Ochoboguchi Series" for you. This time, I tried to compare the cold tofu using 3 kinds of "Ochoboguchi series"! Of the three flavors, the one that suits the coldest one is ...?
■ Ochoboguchi series
The "Ochoboguchi Series" is a product sold by Shoda Shoyu, a long-established seasoning maker in Gunma Prefecture. By adopting a flip-up cap that looks like an "Ochoboguchi", it prevents dripping and clogging, and at the same time makes it easier to adjust the capacity. There are various flavors, and it seems that you can enjoy it as you like according to the situation.

■ What suits Hiyayakko ...?
This time, I tried three kinds of "herb soy sauce", "curry-flavored soy sauce", and "Thai-style soy sauce". I actually put it on tofu and tried to find out which one was the best.
◆ Curry-flavored soy sauce
"Curry-flavored soy sauce" is a sweet and mild curry-flavored flavor. Since it is less spicy, it has a taste that children can enjoy.
Even if you eat it over a cold tofu, you can still feel the curry flavor. It's sweet and easy to eat, and it seems to be appreciated by children! The recommended way to eat it is to mix it with omelet rice, fried rice, natto, potato salad, stir-fried vegetables, etc. It may be good for fried foods such as fried chicken and fried chicken!
The color of the sauce is like curry
It has a sweet curry flavor!
◆ Thai style soy sauce
"Thai style pure oil" is a flavor based on soy sauce and nam pla. Asian spices and a hint of coriander are added.
This suits the cold guy better than expected! The flavor of nam pla is especially strong, and the spiciness of Asian taste is appetizing. If you use a heap of green onions and mizuna as condiments, you can enjoy it even more. The recommended way to eat it is to add it to yakisoba, grilled rice, fresh spring rolls, and seafood salad.
It seems that the sauce is thicker than others
◆ Herbal soy sauce
"Herbal pure oil" is a flavor that contains 6 kinds of herbs (oregano, thyme, laurel, rosemary, celery, basil) in raw soy sauce. The taste of soy sauce and the aroma of herbs enhance the taste of the dish.
When you put it in your mouth, the refreshing scent of herbs spreads softly. It's a good accent, but it feels a little salty to put on a cold tofu. As for how to eat, it is recommended to match it with salad, fish dishes, and meat dishes. Certainly, I think you can enjoy it even more by entwining it with cold pasta or dressing it with cold shabu-shabu!
The appearance is not much different from ordinary soy sauce
■ What is the best flavor ...?
"Ochoboguchi series" that changes your usual cooking. The flavor that suits the cold tofu I chose was "Thai style soy sauce". It seems that it can be used for various dishes other than cold tofu.
