Yama-Roku Shoyu Co.

4.5

A 150-year old soy sauce manufacturer located on the southeastern part of Shodoshima Island—an area known for soy sauce production. Adding a compressor in 1949, it switched from making mash to soy sauce. They focus on the barrel-distilling Shodoshima Island is known for, using only cedar barrels. “Tsuru-sho” is a mellow, full soy sauce made with deep re-distilling methods, and “kiku-sho” uses Tanba kurozu beans with their softly-aromatic sweetness and richness. Also, you can see the moromi plant for free, and enjoy soy sauces at the open cafe inside.
