Mizkan

Mizkan is one of Japan’s most iconic condiment makers, celebrated for its high-quality vinegars, sushi seasonings, ponzu, tsuyu, mirin, and natto. Founded in 1804, the brand evolved from a small vinegar brewer into a global leader in Japanese flavor.

With deep roots in traditional fermentation, Mizkan continues to innovate. Its best-selling Ajipon ponzu blends soy sauce, citrus, and vinegar for a bright, refreshing taste that elevates everything from gyoza to nabe hot pot. The brand also produces versatile soup bases and seasonings loved in home kitchens worldwide.

Mizkan’s growth extends internationally through strategic acquisitions, including UK staples like Sarson’s and Branston, and major US pasta sauce brands like Ragu and Bertolli. Despite global expansion, the company remains family-led and dedicated to its mission of “Bringing Flavour to Life™.”
