Tofu skin formed by skimming the protein-fat film off heated soy milk.

A central ingredient of shojin ryori (Buddhist temple cuisine) and Kyoto kaiseki. High protein (~25% wet, 50%+ dry), low carbohydrate, and the 'plant-based meat' equivalent Japan has used for centuries. Distinct from existing tofu-okara entry.
