Kinbue Syoyu Park: See how soy sauce is made

What surprised me the most was that soy sauce makers are not allowed to eat natto! Do you know why?

Don't miss the wooden barrels that can be used for 150 years! The inside of the factory is filled with a fragrant smell that is a little different from that of soy sauce.

The tour takes about 30 minutes. If there is availability, you may be able to tour without making a reservation, but we recommend making a reservation in advance!

The restaurant next door serves not only meals but also soft serve ice cream and baumkuchen made with soy sauce. The faintly fragrant soy sauce sweets can only be found here! My recommendation is the soy sauce soft serve ice cream.
Kinbue soft serve ice cream (milk, soy sauce, mix) ￥430
