Ito Shoten Denemon

This veteran brewery is about 10 minutes by car from Taketoyo Interchange on the Minami Chita Road. They've been manufacturing and selling miso and tamari soy sauce since the Edo period. Their miso and tamari have a deep, rich flavor from the brewing bacteria and two-hundred year old cedar casks that have been passed down through the generations. Their signature additive-free miso is made with domestic soybeans and sun-dried salt before being carefully fermented for three years. Their versatile tamari seasoning is rich and sweet, with 16% salt that is less than ordinary varieties. Their popular nametake mushroom and soy sauce preserve has no artificial flavors.
