Aloha Tofu Factory, Inc.

Aloha Tofu Factory, Inc. Eat Tofu...It's Good For You! Instead, the patriarch Kamesaburo just wanted to provide for his family's needs.

Aloha Tofu Factory started from very humble beginnings in 1950 when Kamesaburo and Tsuruko Uyehara agreed to take over the running of a friend's tofu factory. Normally, it would take a lifetime to master the art of tofu-making, but young Kamesaburo had only a week to learn everything about tofu and keep the factory running. The first generation of the Uyehara family who ran the tofu factory didn't set out to become Hawaii's largest tofu manufacturer in the islands today. The first tofu shop was located on Dillingham Boulevard near what is now Honolulu Community College. In 1964, Aloha Tofu moved to the Ala Moana Farmers Market where the business grew until a fire wiped out the factory in 1966. The family joined together and Kamesaburo rebuilt the factory and started over. In 1976, their hard work and determination was rewarded when the Uyehara family established their own factory on Akepo Lane in Kalihi where it still stands today. Aloha Tofu Factory and the Uyehara family built their company based on the belief that the people of Hawaii deserve the freshest tofu. As a company with local values and the vision of aloha, the Uyehara family invites everyone to enjoy the versatility and health benefits that Aloha Tofu has to offer.

Tofu snack time with Boo! 🐶🧡

Boo loves eating plain tofu from Aloha Tofu!

Fun fact: plain tofu isn’t toxic for dogs, so it can be safe for them to have in small amounts as an occasional snack or treat.

Of course, every dog is different, so it’s always best to check with your vet before introducing new foods into your dog’s diet.

Would your dog try plain tofu? 🐶💚

We originally planned to choose only 3 winners for our coloring contest, but after receiving so many amazing entries, our managers selected 5 additional winners for a Managers Special Award. 💚🧡

Each manager personally selected an entry that stood out to them. Here’s why they chose their winners:

⭐ Tracie’s Pick – SB: She though SB neatly colored with beautiful use of colors. She loved how SB used different colors to separate objects and was impressed by the talent for a 1st grader.

⭐ Nozomi’s Pick – Lily: She thought Lily beautifully colored, with accent lines that really made her artwork stand out.

⭐ Ryuji’s Pick – Stella: He thought Stella had great coloring with a strong use and sense of color.

⭐ Misa’s Pick – Xinying: She loved the little dimples on the cheeks and thought Xinying colored very carefully. She also liked how the dolls looked very happy.

⭐ Kenji’s Pick – Nova: He liked that Nova used vibrant colors, especially on the obi and fan. He also thought Nova carefully colored the platform of the Hina-Tofu dolls.
