The tofu dude

I found the summer version of the sweet potato salesman! This is the tofu salesman. He blows this horn to let you know he's coming down your street.

I haven't bough anything from him because tofu is very, very confusing to me.
If you go to a grocery store here in Tokyo, there are several kinds of tofu. And given that the labels are all in Japanese, I have no idea what I'm buying. I have a Japanese cookbook here, but I've limited my cooking to chicken and beef. I'm even afraid of buying the fish here because a lot of the fish comes with head and tail included. No thanks!
