I used the koya dofu (freeze-dried tofu) that I had purchased at a 100-yen shop to make miso soup. I was a little surprised that koya dofu contained more fat than I had imagined.

100円ショップで買った高野豆腐を味噌汁を作るのに使いました。高野豆腐は思ったより脂質が多いので少し驚きました。

I'm not a big fan of koya dofu because its spongy texture. My father, who comes from Nagano (Shinshu), is a huge fan of it.
高野豆腐はスポンジのような食感で私はあまり好きではないです。長野（信州）出身の父は高野豆腐が大好きです。

I will be frank: koya dofu looks introguing and I really like tofu, but since it has as many calories as a bar of chocolate, I would prefer my Swiss dark chocolate instead ;-) (I'm not sure... maybe the 72% cocoa, good quality one would be healthier than this tofu...).
This tofu has more calories than fat cheese. I know, tofu is not lean, but this level surprises me. Besides, I have never seen koya dofu before.
Sissi and Kiki: Koya dofu is as healthy as regular tofu because it's made by freeze-drying tofu. Consider freeze-dried coffee. When reconstituted, koya dofu will absorb liquid, expanding slightly and increasing in weight, thereby reducing the calories per gram.
In fact, there is a thing called "koya dofu diet" in Japan. Koya dofu is high in dietary fiber and is quite filling. Besides it contains a large amount of amino acid.
Anyway, in days of old, koya dofu, as well as fu, was a valuable source of protein.
