Komo dofu (tofu)

"Komo dofu" is made by wrapping tofu with "komo", a mat of woven straw, and boiling it in soup stock. It is characterized by the pattern of the straw mat seen on the tofu surface. The boiling process creates many voids inside the tofu, allowing the stock flavor to spread throughout it. It has been eaten as a delicacy of the summer holiday of the dead (obon) or the new year holiday season.
