Shira-ae

Vegetables folded into a smooth, creamy paste of tofu and sesame — tofu functioning as the dressing. Quiet and refined; the kind of dish that earns more appreciation the more Japanese food you've eaten. A frequent side dish at teishoku restaurants and traditional Japanese diners.

お豆腐をなめらかに潰して、お野菜を和えた上品な料理だよ。豆腐がクリーミーなドレッシングみたいになっていて、日本料理の発想の豊かさが光る一品だね
