Foreigner in a tofu maker shop

For a while ago I started working for a small tofu maker close to my home. It is a family business that has been run since 1953 (Showa year 28 according to Japanese imperial calendar). 
It is a kind of manufacture where tofu and tofu related products are made. Still almost everything is made manually with great effort and care. Few generations are involved in business. Everyone participates and helps each other.
Their main products are tofu (豆腐) and aburage (油揚げ, fried tofu). Tofu maker is called tofu-ya (豆腐屋/豆富屋).
