【Tofu Making】
Mr.&Mrs.Takayama run a small tofu shop.
All hand made.
You can try fresh "tonyu"
or soy bean milk(before it is coagulated with bittern.)
Boiled soy beans are
squeezed.
Mr.Takayama sells tofu on a
cart ringing a bell.
Look at Mrs.Takayama's marvelous finesse !
She cuts tofu so skillfully that each
piece can be put in a tray with no spaces
between them.
