Higashimaru

Higashimaru is one of Japan’s most historic soy sauce manufacturers, with a legacy dating back to 1580 in Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture. Known for producing authentic Japanese seasonings and condiments, the brand has built a reputation for quality and tradition that spans centuries.

Specialty products include Higashimaru’s signature usukuchi (light-colored) soy sauce, developed in 1660. This unique soy sauce is lighter in color but saltier than traditional dark soy sauce, making it ideal for enhancing the flavor of various Japanese dishes while preserving their appearance.

Higashimaru uses carefully selected local ingredients and follows meticulous fermentation and aging processes, ensuring that every batch delivers rich, aromatic, and umami-packed flavors. Its dedication to quality has made its soy sauce a staple in both Japanese households and professional kitchens.
