			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just as tofu becomes mainstream in Oklahoma, we learn that it&#8217;s facing decreasing popularity in Japan. How can this be? Is it possible that a steady diet of fast food and crazy Western delicacies like pizza will destroy the tofu industry? Not if Takuji Yamato can help it.<span id="more-194"></span></p>
<p>Yamato, a tofu-maker from the old school isn&#8217;t going to let lousy eating habits destroy his business. If tastes change, then he&#8217;s going to change with them:</p>
<blockquote><p>His best sellers include black sesame tofu, which tastes like peanut butter custard.</p>
<p>There are also grass green avocado, deep purple-flecked shiso leaf and whole grain millet tofus. They did the trick, and Yamato&#8217;s sales rebounded.</p></blockquote>
<p>We&#8217;re not sure if this is natural evolution or a marketing gimmick destined to fall by the wayside (though we&#8217;re hoping for the latter). We do know, however, what we&#8217;ll be serving at our next <strong>Planet Tokyo</strong> party. (via <a href="http://www.fuckedgaijin.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=94323#94323">f*cked gaijin</a>)</p>
