Yamaroku Soy Sauce

This soy sauce brewery has been in business for about 150 years and sells soy sauce brewed in wooden barrels, a method that is rarely used in Japan these days. You can tour the moromi brewery for free and learn about the traditional soy sauce production methods, such as the wooden barrels where the lactic acid bacteria and yeast that brew soy sauce live, and the moromi brewery. At Yamaroku Teahouse under the eaves of the brewery, you can enjoy Yamaroku's original soy sauce pudding and yakimochi (fried rice cakes) grilled on a shichirin, which is only available in winter.
