Wrap the tofu in kitchen paper towels, put on a weight that won't crush them (such as a flat plate) and drain out the excess water (about 15 minutes). Finely julienne the carrot, shred the shimeji mushrooms into small clusters, wrap both in cling film and par-cook them separately in the microwave. Let cool. Wrap the spinach in cling film and par-cook in the microwave. Refresh in cold running water. Squeeze out the excess water and cut into 3 cm long pieces. Crush the tofu from Step 1 with a spoon. Crush any lumps in the sugar, and add it and the mentsuyu to the tofu. Mix well until the tofu mixture is smooth. Add the cooled vegetables from Steps 2 and 3, and it's done.
