The producer
Why it matters.
The current supply relationship between Hodo Foods and State Bird Provisions and The Progress traces fresh yuba to Oakland, California, United States, with traditional tofu methods recorded in the producer profile.
The origin.
Vietnamese refugee Minh Tsai began selling the foods he missed at a Bay Area farmers market in 2004. Founding partner John Notz joined in 2005, helping develop Hodo from an artisan stall into an Oakland producer used by chefs and home cooks.
