differentiate tokwa and tofu

Answers:
I'm Japanese and I never heard of Tokwa before but this is what I found out:

Tokwa (tokwan)
A very firm, square tofu with slightly enhanced handling and keeping qualities. All the same, it needs refrigeration and should be used within a few days. Mashed and mixed with meat to extend the protein and increase the nutrition, it may also be sliced and deep fried, then used like age (see BEAN CURD).

My personal preference is the soft bean curd that I always called tofu but the firm or extra firm appears to be called tokwa. When you fry tofu you want the firm as the soft tofu contains too much water and will break apart more easily.

The age (pron. agay) referred to above is a bean curd often used in a pocket sushi and appears brown in color. Sort of shaped like a small pita pocket that is filled with sweet mirin flavored rice and chopped mushrooms.

Same thing; tokwa is another name for tofu.
It is a slang-word or tagalong word
(dialect or language) from the Republic of the Philippines.
