The ultra-popular Japanese cultural and creative product “Tofu Character,” with its cute and innocent expression, is loved by many. Recently, it has transformed into a fusion of Taiwanese and Japanese flavors. Thanks to outstanding creativity in Taiwan, authorization for the Japanese Tofu Character plush toy has been obtained, and the world’s first Tofu Character dessert and beverage shop “TO-FU meets Tea” has opened in Taiwan. TO-FU meets Tea specializes in tofu beverages, incorporating homemade chewy tofu into drinks and desserts, along with importing Kyoto matcha from Japan and carefully selected local healthy ingredients to offer visitors the healthiest and most delicious options.

In addition to introducing tea ingredients such as Kyoto matcha and Shizuoka roasted tea, TO-FU meets Tea also combines them with high-quality local Taiwanese teas and ingredients, including black square chocolate grown toxin-free in Pingtung and made with 100% natural cocoa butter. This allows consumers to not only see the adorable Tofu Character but also enjoy flavors selected from both Japan and Taiwan.

In addition to the dessert and beverage shop collaboration with TO-FU meets Tea, the Tofu Character has also partnered cross-industry with eight selected Taiwanese design brands. Under the concept of “TO-FU meets/ Tofu Character meets Taiwanese Design,” it has collaborated with Japanese designers to create a series of handmade, limited-edition design products ranging from lamps and tableware to furniture.
