Very firm tofu is pressed hard to drive out water, then buried in salty miso, with layers of sugar in the Kumamoto version, for about half a year. Enzymes from the miso's koji slowly soften the tofu until it is creamy and tastes like cheese or sea urchin. It is sliced thin and eaten with rice or with drinks.

Very firm tofu is pressed hard to drive out water, then buried in salty miso, with layers of sugar in the Kumamoto version, for about half a year. Enzymes from the miso's koji slowly soften the tofu until it is creamy and tastes like cheese or sea urchin. It is sliced thin and eaten with rice or with drinks. Made in 3 steps over 6 months. The longest step, leave it to ripen, takes 6 months (MAFF). Koji enzymes from the miso does most of the fermenting.
Unlike furu, the tofu grows no mould of its own. It borrows enzymes from the koji in the miso around it, and is kept at room temperature for months, so only very firm tofu is used.
Local lore links it to Heike soldiers who hid in the Higo mountains about 800 years ago. In mountain districts such as Gokanosho and Itsuki, families made their own tofu and wheat miso from swidden crops, and the pickled tofu was a stored protein in places with poor transport and no refrigerators (MAFF).
