Flat sheets of fried soya bean curd or tofu split and made into pouches. These are found in soups, simmered dishes, inarizushi and mixed rice dishes. Pre-seasoned, thin deep-fried tofu is available tinned especially for inarizushi (deep-fried tofu pouches stuffed with mixed vinegared rice). They should be doused with boiling water before using to remove excess oil from the surface and may be cooked in sweet sake, shoyu and water.
