https://restaurants-guide.tokyo/column/tofu-bean-curd/ - "Yose dofu is made by scooping out hot soy milk curdled with coagulant and placing it in a bag or container. As it is neither pressed nor immersed in water, it has a unique texture and flavor, different from momen tofu. Yose tofu is alternatively called oboro tofu. Oboro is the name for a moon half hidden in clouds, and one theory claims that oboro tofu is so named because it resembles a hazy moon."
  Comments:
I am concerned that the proposed glosses for this and yose dofu don't really explain what it is. Maybe this works better. I'm avoiding the good old "variety of ...".
