Discovering the Secrets of Japan's World-Famous Soy Sauce
The main attraction of the facility’s Kinbue Soy Sauce School (Factory Tour) is the 38 large barrels lined up in the brewing warehouse! These cedar barrels slowly ferment and mature the brew over 1-3 years, letting you see soy sauce at various stages of fermentation.
At the restaurant, you can enjoy udon noodles prepared daily on-site and served in a wooden bowl, as well as sample various soy sauce flavors and styles. After your meal, try a dessert with soy sauce specially made for sweets!
Along with soy sauce itself, the shop sells soy sauce-based products, soy sauce baumkuchen, rice crackers, and other confections. The unique soy sauce soft serve ice cream is also a big hit. Be sure to try it!
