Hon kuzu starch in pieces ⋅ ohsawa ⋅ 150g

George Ohsawa was a Japanese philosopher born in 1893 who founded the macrobiotic movement. He sought to introduce the philosophy of yin and yang into diet, based on the belief that a healthy diet could remedy all ills. Believing that forcing oneself to eat only healthy foods without enjoying them made it impossible to maintain such a diet indefinitely, the Ohsawa group, founded in 1945, continues his work by distributing only macrobiotic products that are both good for the body and pleasing to the palate.

To prepare gomadofu (sesame tofu), combine 400 ml of water, 50 g of this starch, 50 g of sesame paste (white or black), and 1 pinch of salt in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously with a spatula. Once the mixture is very thick (you should be able to see the bottom of the saucepan), continue stirring for 5 minutes over low heat. Then pour into a damp container and leave to cool. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Enjoy with your choice of accompaniments, such as soy sauce or wasabi, for the savory version, or sweet sauce, kuromitsu black sugar syrup, maple syrup, etc., for the sweet version.

Store away from light, heat, and moisture.
