This soy sauce brewery has been using the same technique of slow fermenting and maturing soy sauce in wooden tubs since their founding in 1912. They manufacture and sell seasonings and processed goods including primarily miso and soy sauce as well as salad dressings. We particularly recommend their Jinzaemon dark soy sauce. It's made with local Tango soy beans, domestic wheat, and famous salt from the sea of Ako and uses the same old style natural fermenting and aging techniques that they've used since their first generation.

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
