Each Hinoki wooden tofu mold is unique, with natural variations in grain and colour that give every piece its own character. Handcrafted in Akita, Japan, it brings the warmth and subtle fragrance of Japanese cypress into your kitchen.

The wooden mold and included reusable cotton strainer cloth help drain and shape freshly curdled soy milk into neat blocks of homemade tofu. A practical way to explore traditional recipes and prepare a versatile ingredient for everyday plant-based meals.

Its simple design harmonises with other Japanese kitchen tools, bringing natural materials and thoughtful craftsmanship to daily cooking. An invitation to take your time and enjoy the pleasure of making fresh tofu at home.
