THE OTA DIFFERENCE

What makes Ota Tofu stand out from other brands? Our dedication to traditional craftsmanship and quality ingredients creates a tofu experience unlike any other.

Traditional Coagulant

Ota Tofu is made with only three ingredients – soybeans, water, and nigari. This traditional coagulant, derived from seawater and imported from Japan, is one reason our tofu must be handmade.

Delicate Process

Nigari produces soybean curds that are too delicate for a machine to process, requiring each slab of Ota Tofu to be hand stirred and handcrafted.

Superior Result

While other producers use calcium sulfate (gypsum) that allows for machine processing, we believe nigari creates better texture and flavor – and invite you to taste the difference.
