In 1985, Morinaga Nutritional Foods Inc. of Torrance, California began marketing aseptically packaged silken style tofu in the United States under the Mori-Nu brand name. Mori-Nu helped to develop the revolutionary new packaging process that seals in all the wholesome nutrition of tofu in an airtight, shelf-stable package. Thanks to the aseptic packaging, Mori-Nu Tofu remains free from the harmful effects of light, oxygen, and microorganisms without preservatives or irradiation. The package also conveniently requires no refrigeration until opened. This modern packaging system was voted "the #1 food science innovation of the last 50 years" by the prestigious Institute of Food Technologists because it increases nutrient retention and flavor while ensuring food safety. Mori-Nu's original product line consisted of silken style tofu in soft, firm, and extra-firm varieties. The creamy-smooth texture and mild flavor of original Mori-Nu Silken Tofu make it ideal for everything from shakes and cream pies to sauces, soups, dips, and main dishes. Retailers and consumers alike appreciate the miraculous package that assures Mori-Nu Silken Tofu, unlike traditional water-pack tofu, is free from contamination and easy to store.

And that's when i kinda started thinking that this guy's telling me i need to go sell my flavored vodkas and this was the first time i really started thinking seriously about it.
