Kyoto Tofu Seller with his Bicycle

Tofu Seller Kyoto自転車で回る京都豆腐やさん

Every once in a while one can spot a tofu seller on a bicycle in Kyoto.

They are a dying breed.

We have spotted, or rather heard, this older man in and around Nishijin.

The other day he was setting out along the pavement on Imadegawa Dori, west of Horikawa.

He usually rides or walks, slowly, on neighborhood streets bleeping his old horn.

People who hear the doleful wail of the horn, and are in need of tofu, come out and buy from him.
