Goma dofu, also known as sesame tofu, is a silky, smooth, and creamy dish originating from Japanese Buddhist temples. Despite its name, it contains no soy but is made from sesame paste and kudzu starch, giving it a subtle nutty taste and a soft, jelly-like texture. It's not a suitable substitute for regular soy-based tofu due to its texture, but it excels on its own, particularly when served cold as an appetizer with soy sauce and wasabi.
