History
As a child in Vietnam, Minh Tsai, often took morning walks with his grandfather to the neighborhood tofu shack. They would bring the fresh tofu home and enjoy it within hours after it had been prepared. As an adult, living in the United States, he found that the fresh, artisan-quality soymilk, tofu and yuba he remembered fondly from his youth proved elusive. Frustrated by his attempts to find fresh, great-tasting tofu at the market and inspired by the delicious home-cooked meals he regularly shared with friends and family, the idea to bring the tofu of his childhood to his local community was born. With a group of cousins and friends, Minh started testing the waters, making soymilk, tofu and yuba with organic, non-GMO soybeans out of a family-run commercial kitchen and selling it at the Palo Alto Farmers' Market.
