Japan — tonyu production documented since at least 8th century with Buddhist tofu introduction
Tonyu (豆乳, soy milk) is Japan's traditional soy milk — the liquid extracted from soaked, ground, and cooked soybeans before tofu coagulation. Japanese tonyu is categorically different from Western soy milk: unsweetened, thicker, with more pronounced beany flavor appreciated as a healthy breakfast drink. Multiple grades: regular tonyu (50g soybeans per 1L — thinner), and adjusted tonyu (80g+ per 1L — cream-like). Applications in Japanese cooking: tonyu hot pot (tonyu nabe), tonyu ramen broth, tonyu soup base for winter warming dishes, and drinking straight from the street vendor machine (a Tokyo market tradition).
