Located in Mount Koya, a mountain chain in the east end of Osaka, Daikaku Sohonpo is the creator of “Goma Dofu” or sesame tofu. Mount Koya is well known for its complex of more than a hundred of buddhist temples and sesame tofu, made from sesame seeds and kuzu rather than soy, is a traditional food from Mount Koya, included in the monk's diet for its health benefits. Rich in proteins, magnesium, vitamins and more, sesame tofu is the perfect food for buddhist monks living in the area. Therefore, Daikaku Sohonpo has produced since 1988 sesame tofu carefully made from local ingredients and water springing from the foothill of Mount Koya. Daikaku Sohonpo wants everyone to benefit from Mount Koya traditional foods such as sesame tofu and kuzu, a multi-purpose ingredient.
