A method for producing tofu is described which includes the step of
detecting the concentration of a coagulant in soybean milk. The coagulant
concentration is detected by a coagulant concentration detector disposed
downstream of a stirring apparatus in a soybean milk transfer circuit. The
amount of addition of the coagulant is controlled by a coagulant
concentration adjuster in accordance with the coagulant concentration
detected by the coagulant concentration detector. This enables the mass
production of tofu having a bouncy taste and excellent flavor.
