The 'Manner Tofu Chopstick' Game from Japan is Fun and Frustrating

— October 7, 2013 — Life-Stages

The game is from Eyeup Japan and comes with two pairs of chopsticks and a Tofu family. You can play the game three different ways, but one of the ways is to stack the pieces of Tofu in a small bowl. The game is to try to stack the family as high as you can until they all come crumbling down.

Although the game might sound frustrating it will give you the practice you need in order to use chopsticks like a pro. Have fun while brushing up on your skills and get your friends together for some fun with Tofu.
