Chrysanthemum soy sauce / Yamaroku Soy Sauce (Kagawa Prefecture)

Shodoshima's soy sauce brewery is extremely popular with tourists

Customers who stop by the storefront often say, "I've been here before!" at Yamaroku Soy Sauce. Tours are available without a reservation, and rather than being set up for tours, you can see the brewery as it is, accompanied by a detailed explanation. You'll be greeted by a dimly lit and silent brewery that feels like another dimension, with no unpleasant smells. The stories of fifth-generation owner Yasuo Yamamoto are also very interesting!

What is surprising when you step into the brewery is the sight of bacteria living in the barrels. Bacteria essential for soy sauce production, such as lactic acid bacteria and yeast, are densely packed all the way to the outside of the barrels, and it is rare to see a barrel so covered in bacteria. All the barrels are brewed in wooden barrels, and many of them have been in use for over 100 years.
