QiuChuan Tofu

　　QiuChuan Tofu is a specialty dish from QiuChuan Town, Changshan County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province. With its unique craftsmanship, QiuChuan Tofu comes in over 10 varieties including white tofu, rice tofu, stinky tofu, and fried tofu. Neighboring towns such as LongRao, BaiShi, and even residents from Yushan County in neighboring Jiangxi Province come here to buy it, earning QiuChuan the reputation of being the “No. 1 Tofu Town in Western Zhejiang.”

　　In the ancient town of QiuChuan, Changshan, tofu artisans still process tofu by hand. In the old-fashioned tofu workshops, aside from the modern bean grinders, the tofu stoves, soy milk draining racks, pressing frames, and tofu molds all have a long history.

　　“Making tofu is like conducting oneself in life — it must be pure and honest.” Thanks to generations of refined skills and a commitment to traditional recipes, QiuChuan Tofu always stands out: it has a delicate and smooth texture, rich in nutrition; it is as fine as congealed fat, fresh, tender, and smooth; it holds its shape when held and shaken in the hand, and does not break apart even after boiling for a long time in soup.

　　The flavor of QiuChuan Tofu lies in a subtle lightness that conceals rich deliciousness. It is pleasant to the palate, refreshing and thirst-quenching, suitable for both meat and vegetable dishes, and also offers health benefits such as helping to reduce arteriosclerosis and promoting metabolism. These characteristics have made it a best-selling product and a delicious staple on people’s dining tables.
