Since there is "hisui tofu" made from edamame, I thought it wouldn't be too strange to use chickpeas, so I gave it a try.

1) This recipe uses katakuriko in place of kudzu powder. 2) The tofu breaks apart easily, so it may be hard to serve with garnishes. Recipe by Sachigohan

Steps

1

Grind the white sesame seeds with a mortar and pestle or similar utensil.
2

Pulverize the chickpeas into a smooth paste with a mortar and pestle or similar utensil, then strain through a sieve.
3

Combine the sesame seeds, katakuriko, dashi soup stock and salt in a pot, and mix well. Heat over low heat, and mix with a wooden spoon or similar utensil.
4

After stirring for about 20 minutes, it should start to harden into a thick paste. Add the chickpeas from Step 3 and combine until even.
5

Lightly dampen the inside of a container, and pour in the mixture. Wet your hands to even out the surface. Place the container in ice water, and chill to harden (or, place in the refrigerator after it cools to the touch).
6

Remove from the container, wet a knife, and cut into desired serving sizes. Try it with wasabi and soy sauce.
