Essential to Japanese cuisine, shoyu, or soy sauce originated from the city of Yuasa in Wakayama. Legend has it that in the 13th century, the Zen Buddhist monk Shinichi Kakushin discovered the wonders of soy sauce totally by accident while making kinzanji miso, a type of bean paste. Thanks to its fresh water with natural minerals, Yuasa was later chosen as the ideal place to manufacture said discovery into Shinichi Kakushin today known as soy sauce.
Back in the 17th century, Yuasa had up to 90 different factories solely designed to produce soy sauce. Today however only one factory remains the Kadocho Soy Sauce Factory. Founded in 1841, Kadocho uses the exact same Yoshino cedar barrels and the same labor-intensive process to create the soy sauce like in the 17th century. The Kadocho Soy Sauce Factory is not only one of the last real soy sauce factories but also a living museum that only a privileged few are allowed to visit during a limited period of time each day.
Being one of the last of a long line of Masters, Kadocho is one of Japan’s most respected soy sauce manufacturers with clients all over Japan. They purchase their products for personal or professional use in some of Japan most famous restaurants!
