You might be surprised to hear this, but yes—you can marinate tofu in shio koji! The result is something wonderfully creamy, savory, and completely unique—kind of like cheese, but not quite. It’s simple to prepare, packed with umami, and a fun way to experience tofu in a whole new light.

I love making this as a little snack to enjoy with a drink, or even using it as a base to make a surprisingly delicious ice cream.
