"Hiyayakko is one of the simplest dishes in Japanese cuisine and perfect for summer: Cool, light, and refreshing all at the same time! If you can't find ponzu sauce, simply mix soy sauce and lemon juice in a 2:1 ratio. For the best result, chill the tofu well and drizzle the ponzu over it just before serving. This keeps the flavors bright and the dish especially fresh. Feel free to get creative with the toppings: Nori strips or bonito flakes add umami, shiso leaves or grated daikon radish bring extra freshness, while chili oil or kimchi provide a pleasant kick of heat."
