It is probably some unscientific way of seasoning tofu that he learn from his Japanese apprenticeship. To be honest, Japanese-style Tofu sold in North American is overrated since they overcooked the soy mash because of pressure cooker. Japanese tofu sold in North American are generally more "pure" in favor since it lost all the soy favor. When I make silken tofu for dessert at home or eating old traditional tofu block back in Hong Kong, you suppose to taste the soy favor. You can season yourself the tofu without paying "deep sea water" premium price for saltiness. At least for Tradition Chinese tofu and my household method, you soak bean overnight then you steam cook it first before grounding the beam. The soy beam favor will be there in the final product.
@amsd1231

I suggest you visit Kyoto and try their tofu. Japanese tofu and Chinese tofu are completely different beasts and the only way to know that is actually trying them. I have come to notice that Chinese tofus, while they're are varied, all aim for a much more sweeter note. Japanese tofus on the other hand are slightly bitter and clean. What I mean by clean is that the tofu doesn't have a briney taste or a sticky mouth feel, it is just clean. About Japanese tofus lacking soybean flavor, good Japanese tofus do have a very pronounced bean flavor as well. If the one you tried didn't have it that means you tried a sub par product. So again I urge you to visit Japan and try their tofu. With respect to the deep sea water as coagulant, I am not sure what the chemical composition of it is but I suspect it's the reason why Japanese tofus taste less briney.

I would say tofu has a slight soy bean taste to it. However, the key to tofu is how versatile it can in cooking. It can basically absorb any flavor that it is cooked with. Not only does it absorb flavor but it can also be transformed into many different types of texture. For example, you can fry it to create a firm crispy texture or you can steam it to give it a silky texture. So basically Tofu is a vessel to absorbing flavors while having the ability to transform into different desired textures.

It's a bit more complicated than an allergy. It's a thyroid problem. Soy doesn't mix well with thyroid health. People on thyroid medication can't even absorb it properly if they take soy products. My iodine absorption isn't right either so iodine rich foods like seafood (which I love) and seaweed cause a reaction.

Depending on the type of tofu you purchase - firm, medium or silken (all variations of the amount water in the final product), the texture will differ. Firm tofu has a crumbly quality to it while silken is soft and custard like (as shown in the video). The taste is very delicate and tastes like the soybean and water that was used to make the tofu. Depending on the soybean you can end up with slightly differing flavors. In the end, soybeans taste like a cross between sprouts and beans/nuts. There's a garden freshness in the after taste like sprouts but a deeper richer nuttier creamy flavor while chewing. If you've ever eaten edamame then you've eaten a young soybean and will be familiar with the flavor of tofu (just note that edamame is typically served salted or the pods have been cooked in salted water, whereas tofu will not have this salted flavor).

Doesn't taste like much. It's one of the most bland foods out there. (Some tofu fan will take offense to this - but go ahead, try to name 10 other foods more bland than tofu!)
