The miso and soy sauce brewed in the rich climate of Hida Takayama is used in many local delicacies such as ""Hoba Miso"", ""Takayama Ramen"", and ""Mitarashi Dango"", a local delicacy.
Hida Takayama, which flourished as the center of a castle town and merchant town, and where the ""old streets of the Edo period"" still remain, is a popular tourist destination for many domestic and international visitors. Our company has been brewing miso and soy sauce in wooden vats using traditional methods since its establishment in 1890 in the center of the town.

Description of Products for Trade Inquiry
Using the same method using vats that have remained unchanged since the company's founding, naturally brewed miso is fermented by the "spirit of the brewery," or natural yeast, that has been preserved for over 100 years, and by the action of high-quality koji, and is allowed to mature slowly over a year while undergoing seasonal temperature changes. Our brand "Kakuichi" is committed to traditional handmade miso and pursues a nostalgic, everyday taste.

Homemade miso and soy sauce


Soy sauce of our pride
Hida Takayama has long been known as the best place to make miso and soy sauce. The clean air, pure snowdrift water from the northern Alps, and harsh winters make Hida Takayama the perfect place to make miso and soy sauce. We have been making miso in Takayama for more than 100 years, using the traditional method of brewing in wooden vats in the great nature of Hida. Using carefully selected whole soybeans and plenty of malted rice, our naturally brewed miso and soy sauce produced in the rich climate is loved not only by the local people but also by people from all over Japan.
