Brand Story
Daofu's origins trace back to the mid-19th century during the Qing Dynasty, when Liaoning's fertile lands yielded high-quality rice. Local merchants began crafting rice cakes and rice wine, gaining fame for their excellence. During the Republic era (1912-1949), the Daofu brand was formally established, focusing on rice products and traditional pastries, merging Manchu and Han culinary traditions. After 1949, Daofu underwent public-private partnership, preserving its techniques. In the reform era, it revived its heritage, combining traditional recipes with modern methods. Daofu embodies Liaoning's food culture and the industrial evolution of Northeast China.
