There are many different varieties of tofu in different price ranges and qualities. When the variety of tofu in Japan is very high so I cannot assess which brand is best.

The consistency of tofu is very different some types are soft while others are fixed. Which tofu are best suited all depends on the dish and how you would like to use tofu in your dish.
