Inari is a Japanese ingredient that is deep fried and cooked in a sweet dashi sauce. It tastes sweet and savory with a hint of umami because the tofu skin is cooked in a soy sauce, mirin, and dashi broth. They are known as tofu pouches or pockets because the center is open. These inari sushi pockets are usually served in a bento or lunchbox to be enjoyed at a picnic or for a quick lunch at home.
