What does Tofu mean?
/ˈtoʊfu/

Tofu is a protein-rich food made from curdled soy milk, pressed into blocks. The word came into English from Japanese, which borrowed it from the Chinese doufu, literally "bean curd."

Soft-sounding and a little playful, it suits a pale or white-coated pet with a gentle, easygoing temperament.
