Guided Tour of the Kura-zashiki Built in the Meiji Era

Inside our symbolic brick kura (brewery/warehouse) lies the kura-zashiki, which historically played an important role in ceremonial occasions. This brick kura is the oldest of its kind in the Tohoku region and is registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of Semboku City.

Guided Tour of the Soy Sauce Brewery, Which Is Usually Not Open to Public

We will take you inside our soy sauce brewery, which is usually closed to the public. Surrounded by the rich aroma of soy sauce, you will learn about the craftsmanship and dedication of Ando Jyozo.

Creation of an Original Soy Sauce Bottle

Create your own original soy sauce bottle by making a personalized name sticker. Please take the soy sauce home and enjoy using it while reminiscing about your experience here.
