Tōfu Mentaru

I have a tōfu mentaru (豆腐メンタル).

Tōfu mentaru is a Japanese slang term that describes someone with a weak or fragile mentality.

Tōfu (豆腐 - tofu) is a processed food made from soybeans and is widely consumed, especially in China and Japan.

Japanese tofu is characterized by its extremely soft and smooth texture.

In addition, mentaru (メンタル) refers to "mental" or "mentality," tōfu mental literally means "tofu mentality." In other words, it means a "soft and delicate mentality like tofu."

Conversely, when describing a strong mentality, you can use hagane (鋼 - meaning "steel") and say hagane mentaru (鋼メンタル).
豆腐メンタル

私は「豆腐メンタル」です。

「豆腐メンタル」とは、精神的に弱いことや、傷つきやすいことを表す日本の俗語です。

「豆腐」とは、大豆を原料とした加工食品で、特に中国や日本において広く消費されています。

日本の豆腐は、非常に柔らかく、滑らかな質感が特徴でもあります。

また、「メンタル」は "mental" を意味するので、「豆腐メンタル」とは、「豆腐のように柔らかく繊細な精神」を指すというわけです。

反対に、強い精神を表したい場合には、「鋼」を使って「鋼メンタル」と言うことがあります。
