Seasoning the Seasons S07E01 · The Secrets of Tofu Across Japan

Overview

Japanese people have a long history of eating tofu, a filling food that always goes well with a drink.

In an area of heavy winter snowfall, tofu plays an important part in an annual religious ceremony. We explore the secrets of tofu from across the islands of Japan.
