Maruto Soy Sauce, Nara Prefecture’s oldest soy sauce brewery, has been reborn as a stayable soy sauce brewery.Founded in 1689, Maruto Soy Sauce was once purveyor to the Imperial Household—so esteemed that members of the Imperial Family even stayed here. After the war, however, the brewery was forced to close when it could no longer secure satisfactory ingredients. Now, using the microorganisms that remained in the kura since its closure, locally sourced ingredients, and brewing methods reconstructed from historical documents, the fires have been lit again for the first time in 70 years—reviving Maruto as a stayable soy sauce brewery.From traveler to brewer.Experience firsthand our revival of soy sauce making, local resources, and the timeless landscapes of Yamato—all in one place.
