jūten tofu; silken tofu formed in its packaging
A type of silken tofu that is set directly inside its retail container, resulting in a very smooth, delicate texture. Common in Japanese supermarkets.
Jūten tofu is set inside its pack, so it has a fine, smooth texture.
Lately, I've been seeing jūten tofu often at the supermarket.
Silken tofu made by straining soy milk through cloth and then setting it; similar delicate texture but not necessarily formed in the package.
Firm cotton tofu that is pressed and drained, giving it a coarser texture and higher protein content than jūten tofu.
Standard kanji spelling. 充塡 is a variant form of 充填 but is marked as search-only.
From 充填 (jūten, 'filling, packing') + 豆腐 (tōfu, 'tofu'), referring to the manufacturing process where soy milk is poured into the final package and coagulated there.
