Wanli Xiang Food Factory Introduction
The first Taoyuan Goodies event was held in the 21st year before the Republic era. Mr. Lin Rong, the founder of dried tofu, settled in Daxi and started the family business of making dried tofu from Tangshan recipes. In the 10th year of the Republic era, he decided to pass on the tools and techniques for making dried tofu to the neighboring Jiang family, establishing Mingrong Dried Tofu Shop. In the 50th year of the Republic era, Mr. Jiang Zongwan took over the business and renamed it Wanlixiang Dried Tofu, after his ancestor, Jiang Wanli. In the 65th year of the Republic era, Wanlixiang black dried tofu was upgraded from loose packaging to vacuum-sealed bags. In the 66th year, the flavored dried tofu series was developed, bringing new opportunities and innovations to Daxi dried tofu. After four generations, Wanlixiang Dried Tofu's business philosophy has moved towards health. In the 89th year of the Republic era, they exclusively introduced certified American organic soybeans, which are more expensive but have a richer protein and nutrient content. By combining traditional handmade processes with top-quality varieties, they create healthy and delicious organic soy products, ensuring the craftsmanship of Daxi dried tofu is passed down. In the 96th year of the Republic era, their organic black soybean tofu and organic sprouted soybean milk won the National Excellent Food Gold Medal, awarded by President Wang Jin-pyng. In the same year, aged red yeast tofu won the top ten souvenir award in Taoyuan County. In the 98th year of the Republic era, the construction of Wanlixiang's organic processing factory passed the national CAS organic food processing certification.
