Exactly the same. It comes in all of the textures from soft to extra
firm. The nice part is that tetra-pak is not a "space food" method with
lots of preservatives. It is simply an aseptic packaging method with no
air voids. I would see it in the Japanese market but never bought it
because I thought it was "space food". A Japanese friend said that is
what they buy and the box doesn't list anything except tofu and you
can't notice any difference.
