About antifoaming agents
Soy milk is boiled during the process of producing freeze-dried tofu, and the general method is to use an antifoaming agent to remove the bubbles that appear during this process.
This product is an extremely valuable freeze-dried tofu that has been produced using a unique manufacturing process that eliminates bubbles without the use of antifoaming agents.

About the distributor "Ohsawa Japan" - a pioneer of macrobiotics
Ohsawa Japan is a leading Japanese natural food manufacturer that has been promoting macrobiotics (dietary therapy) since its founding in 1945.
The founder was Yukikazu Sakurazawa (1893-1966), a world-renowned advocate of macrobiotics.
Based on the philosophy that "food can change the mind and body," we continue to pass on traditional Japanese food culture, centered on grain-based vegetarian diets, to the modern day.
Ohsawa Japan only carries products that meet two strict standards: "natural food quality standards" and "macrobiotic quality standards."
Their strict commitment to prioritizing organic farming, no food additives, no genetically modified crops, Japanese-grown produce, no animal ingredients, no refined sugar, and traditional manufacturing methods has earned them high praise from macrobiotic practitioners around the world.
"Osawa's Koya Tofu" is a precious koya tofu that is packed with Osawa Japan's commitment and is made without the use of anti-foaming agents or leavening agents.
