Cold Tofu, known as "Hiyayakko" in Japanese cuisine, is a simple and refreshing dish often enjoyed during warm weather. It is made by serving chilled tofu, usually silken or soft variety, topped with garnishes such as green onions, grated ginger, bonito flakes, or soy sauce for added flavor. Originating in Japan, Cold Tofu is a versatile and highly nutritious food. Tofu itself is a rich source of plant-based protein, low in calories, and contains essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and magnesium. It is also cholesterol-free and naturally gluten-free. The addition of garnishes like green onions or ginger may offer antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, sodium levels can increase depending on soy sauce usage, so moderation is key for individuals monitoring salt intake. Light yet satisfying, Cold Tofu is an excellent choice for those seeking a healthy, protein-packed dish rooted in traditional Japanese culinary culture.
