Nigari is either calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, or a mixture of the two. 
It's used for making tofu (soy is estrogenic and dangerous, so I don't eat it 
except for small amounts of properly fermented miso or soy sauce).

I get my magnesium chloride flakes as nigari, from Japan, here:

Thanks for the recipe, Mary. It's much cheaper making your own.

Best,

  That is interesting. I have never heard of Nigari but I imagion it would be 
much cheaper. We don't have a co-op here. I wonder where I could get the 
Nigari. I guess I will google.
  Thanks,
