Tamago Tofu (Tamagodofu) is savory egg flan similar to Chawanmushi. Even though it’s called Tofu, it is not made from soy beans. It is really more like custard. Tamago Tofu is simply flavored with salt, Mirin, and Dashi fish stock. This subtle and comforting dish is usually eaten chilled, especially in warm seasons. If you don’t have any appetite from the heat outside, this can be an easy dish to enjoy. It feels great going down on a hot summer day. However, hot Tamago Tofu is also good just like Chawanmushi.
