What is "tokoroten"

Tokoroten is a dish in Japanese cuisine made from kanten (jelly extracted from seaweeds such as tengusa ( Gelidiaceae) and ogonori ( Gracilaria) by boiling). Pressed against a device, jelly is shaped into noodles. Unlike gelatin desserts, tokoroten has a firmer texture. Flavorings vary from region to region, and can include variations of vinegar, soy sauce, hot pepper, or sesame.
