Jiangkou, a county in southwest China's Guizhou Province known as the "Matcha Capital of China," is home to a beloved local specialty: the fermented tofu from Ban'naogou, Zhaibao Village in Taiping Town.

For years, this golden-colored, crispy and aromatic fermented tofu has been a must-try treat for both locals and tourists visiting the area. It has long been a star attraction on the region's food map, with its rich, savory flavor winning over countless palates.

Now, this time-honored rural delicacy has been given an exciting upgrade. Locals in Zhaibao have added a creative touch to their traditional craft by incorporating matcha powder into the fermented tofu recipe. The result is a unique fusion of flavors: the earthy, slightly bitter notes of matcha perfectly complement the deep, hearty aroma of fermented soybeans.

This innovative twist has not only surprised and delighted customers but also earned widespread praise from food lovers near and far. It's a wonderful example of how traditional culture can be revitalized through clever, locally-inspired innovations.
