The birthplace of "Physalis Tofu" is Sunjiayu Village, Xidong Town, Zouping County, Shandong Province. The physalis tofu is a local tofu processing method that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is essentially different from salt-marinated tofu and gypsum tofu. The physalis used in Sunjia cuisine to make tofu was handed down from the ancestors of Mr. Sun Huaibing (the descendant of physalis tofu) from his hometown in Shandong. The old pulp, the pulp water taken out during the process of making tofu, is placed in a special tank and becomes sour due to the fermentation of its own lactic acid bacteria, which is "Physalis". The tofu made with Physalis is called "Physalis tofu" , make tofu once and leave the physalis once, which has been passed down to this day for recycling.

It can be said to be "original soup to make original food". Therefore, "physalis tofu" was praised by CCTV's "Life" "Early Reference Column" calls it "green and environmentally friendly tofu.
