I think tofu

There is a little fashionable shop on the path of the walk. If you don't have a signboard, such as a bay window, it looks like a boutique at first glance, but this is a tofu shop. The signboard says "Junsei Dofu". Something is strange like a draft beer.

From the memories of my childhood (that was a half a century ago), the selling voice of "Tofi, Tofu" in the morning and evening and the sound of the trumpet are inseparable. Have a knife with a large brass and no blade, cut on your palm in a small pot. It was one of the most famous places in the town.

By the way, the dictionary says "Tofu-ba". It is said that it is read as "Tofuba", but it seems that this has turned to "Juba". I wonder if the old woman's character was associated with her wrinkledness.
