Ota Tofu in Portland, Oregon, is the oldest active tofu factory in America. Its owners and workers have been hand-making fresh tofu from American-grown soybeans since 1911. Owner Jason Ogata shows us how the simple product is made, from grinding and pressure cooking the soybeans to coagulation to hand-pressing the curds. Devon: Looked up an article about Ota Tofu that made me sad
So as not to lose a single detail in the production process and to respect tradition, the Ogatas have the luck to employ one of the descendents of the founders, Koicho Ko Ota, the former owner who now acts as head of operations.
The elderly Ko passes among the machines avoiding having his picture taken, since he wears a backpack with a respiratory assist device and he doesn t particularly like being seen that way.
