Established in 1943, Uncle Tofu is the only store in Taichung that uses a big pot burring wood sticks. After learning tofu making skills from Japanese, the store founder followed the authentic method to prepare and make tofu. Due to time and energy consuming, Uncle Tofu always packed each piece of tofu with lotus leaves. He then used a carrying pole to sell tofu on streets. He gradually built a big group of loyal customers. Later, he rent a stand inside the market to sell his authentic tofu.
