Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Spread a sheet of 'Tofu Pi' with chopsticks. Place the boiling hot sweet-miso pork and raw julienned scallions on it. Roll it tightly like a spring roll, hold it by hand, and bite. The violent depth of the bean sauce is flawlessly neutralized by the scallion heat and the clean tofu skin—an invincible combo.
