Arigato no Sato (Thank You Village)

Japan, 447-0869 2-7 Yamagamicho , Hekinan City, Aichi Prefecture

Since its founding in 1950, Hichifuku Jozo—the first brewery in Japan to make white dashi—has been particular about the quality of raw materials and has pursued creating products that are friendly to people. To express our gratitude for making delicious white soy sauce, the word ""thank you"" is written on the preparation tank and product label. The white soy sauce that is the base of Shiro Dashi (white soup stock) is a clear amber-colored soy sauce made from 90% organic wheat. Since wheat is the main ingredient, it has a high sugar content and a strong sweet taste. At Hichifuku Jozo's factory, Arigato no Sato, you can learn about the process of making white soy sauce, white dashi, and the secret behind their delicious taste. You can sample freshly squeezed white soy sauce and try dishes using white dashi that can be easily made at home. With a rich lineup and recipes for how to use them, you'll have fun choosing souvenirs. Due to our commitment to safe and reliable ingredients, we switched to organic wheat and soybeans. In 2001, we also obtained organic Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS) certification. *The product price in the introduction photo is as of March 2025.
