Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that mass-produces grilled tofu by heating and pressing tofu coagulated with nigari using soybeans as the raw material, enhancing its flavor and texture.
Description
Grilled tofu manufacturers soak soybeans in water and grind them, then use equipment such as steam cookers and press machines to heat, dehydrate, and compress the tofu coagulated with nigari, and further proceed through a baking process to produce grilled tofu. In addition to operating machines on the production line, managing temperature and time, conducting quality inspections on finished products, and hygiene management, they also perform incoming inspections of raw materials and packaging tasks.
Future Outlook
While demand for tofu products remains stable due to increasing health consciousness, labor shortages are a concern due to declining birthrates and an aging population. Production sites are expected to advance initiatives toward automation and labor reduction.
