Gomodofu

By the one made rejoicings certainly, KO, it's said that this name was born from the place where it's wrapped and it's boiled by boiling water. The fragrance and the design of the straw which sank into the surface of the tofu are the feature. It was inserted in soup containing rice cakes at New Year's and that was used in osechi ryori and delicious food of a Buddhist memorial service.
