Noda Soy Sauce Town
culture
野田醤油の里
Birthplace of Kikkoman soy sauce, with factory tours, fermentation halls, and soy ice cream.
Noda is where Kikkoman was born. Edo-period brewers along the Edogawa River cooperated to create the world's most recognized soy sauce brand. The Kikkoman Moji-Doko factory tour traces the six-month fermentation process through mash halls and barrel rooms, with free tastings of fresh soy sauce ice cream. Surrounding streets retain brewery architecture and independent soy-sauce makers offering small-batch varieties unavailable elsewhere.
