What the creator captured
Eater explores the legacy of Ota Tofu, the oldest active tofu company in America, which has preserved traditional handmade techniques since 1911. The current owner, a former professional baseball player, highlights how hand-pressing and precise temperature control create a nutty, sweet flavor that mass-produced tofu cannot match. The experience emphasizes the importance of preserving labor-intensive craftsmanship to maintain a multi-generational community staple.
