About the brand

Founded in Meiji 23, it is a miso soy sauce manufacturer in Hida Takayama for over 130 years. Since its founding, we have continued to make products by hand-brewing wooden barrels. An exceptional seasoning that cannot be reproduced anywhere else.

In addition to miso soy sauce prepared in wooden barrels, there are dressings that won prizes at the National Seasoning Championship, the highest quality koji miso that can only be harvested once a year, and processed seasonings that have won encouragement awards in the area.
2
Retail 500ml or 1,000ml soy sauce cannot be sold unless it is local. We have a mini soy sauce that sells a lot outside the prefecture and has just the right amount of capacity and visuals.
3
It is the origin of Hida Takayama's local dish "Hakuba miso". The first and only one of our products in Japan has crossed from Hokkaido to Kyushu.

Show original
The story of Kusakabe Miso Soy Sauce Brewing Co., Ltd. began in the 23rd year of the Meiji era in the land of Hida Takayama. The founders, the Kusakabe clan, were originally known as wealthy merchants in Takayama, but they embarked on the miso and soy sauce brewing business out of a strong desire to support not only the prosperity of merchants but also the local food culture. Takayama has flourished as a merchant town since the Edo period, and was a food city with sake breweries and miso breweries. In the heart of it, the Kusakabe family launched the "Kakuichi" brand and continued to pursue flavors loved by locals.
　
Continuing to preserve the traditional manufacturing method that has remained unchanged since our founding has never been an easy path. Resisting the tide of the times that require mass production and efficiency, and sticking to hand-prepared miso making without sparing time and effort was also a battle against management difficulties and changes in the times. However, the Kusakabe family has maintained their commitment to aging in wooden barrels and carefully selected ingredients, with the belief that "the real taste resides in the effort."
　
In addition, the second generation's first commercialization of "Hakuba miso" in the Showa 40s was a turning point for the brand. The passion for delivering local cuisine, which has been popular in local households, to tourists and people all over the country, has now grown into a specialty representing Hida Takayama. Kusakabe Miso Soy Sauce Brewing Co., Ltd. is not just a food manufacturer, but also a bridge that connects the nature, tradition, and people's lives of Hida to the future.
　
The reason why we continue this brand is nothing more than the "spirit of the brewery" cultivated over its 130-year history, as well as a sense of mission to pass on the pride of the region and food culture to the next generation. Inherit the old and know the new. With that spirit, we will continue to transmit the rich blessings of Hida Takayama to the whole country and the world.

What are we doing?

The worldview that Kusakabe Miso Soy Sauce Brewing Co., Ltd. wants to realize is to "convey the authentic taste of Hida Takayama to the future, where the nature and tradition of Hida Takayama are alive." To this end, we have continued to adhere to the same manufacturing method and thorough commitment to materials since our founding.
　
First of all, in miso making, we make the most of the natural environment unique to Hida Takayama, which is clear air, melting water from the Northern Alps, and the cold of winter. The only ingredients are rice koji, soybeans, and salt. The soybeans are slowly soaked over a day and night, and then steamed for eight hours without pressure to bring out the original flavor of the ingredients to the limit. We use domestic rice for koji and natural sun salt for salt, and we thoroughly adhere to the "aesthetics of subtraction" that does not add anything superfluous.
　
In addition, the aging process uses wooden barrels that have been used since its founding, and is slowly fermented for eight months to more than a year, subjected to temperature changes in the four seasons. This process, which requires the experience and intuition of craftsmen, is the crystallization of handicrafts that has nothing to do with efficiency or mass production. Preserving these traditional techniques was a challenge that went against the trend of the times, but the passion for "delivering authentic taste" has been the driving force behind overcoming difficulties.
　
In addition, we are not only protecting the local food culture, but also taking on the challenge of creating new value. We aim to balance tradition and innovation, such as commercializing the original Hakuba miso and developing new dressings and seasonings using miso and soy sauce. From the perspective of the SDGs, we are contributing to the realization of a sustainable local community by utilizing locally produced materials and thoroughly creating products that are additive-free and coloring-free.
　
Our brand is not limited to simply providing food, but our mission is to deliver the climate, history, and people's thoughts of Hida Takayama in each product.

Commitment to the product

Kusakabe Miso Soy Sauce Brewing Co., Ltd.'s products are steeped in 130 years of tradition and craftsmanship. Among them, the main product, "Kakuichi Koji Miso," is a gem that is carefully aged in wooden barrels using only carefully selected whole soybeans, domestic rice koji, and natural sun salt. The manufacturing method spares no effort and effort, and is characterized by a mellow, deep richness and natural sweetness. Many customers support its versatility that goes well with any dish, such as miso soup, simmered dishes, and dressings. In fact, we have received comments such as "I miss the old-fashioned taste" and "It is indispensable to the daily dining table".
　
Another signature product is "Original Magnolia Leaf Miso". This magnolia miso, which was first commercialized by our company in the Showa 40s, was developed so that you can easily enjoy the local cuisine of Hida Takayama at home. By adding seasonal ingredients to homemade miso and grilling it on magnolia leaves, the savory aroma and flavor of miso permeate the ingredients. In addition to accompanying rice, the arrangement with Hida beef, tonkatsu, butter, and cheese is also popular, and it can be enjoyed all year round with seasonal ingredients. It is also used in hotels, inns, and restaurants, and is highly regarded by tourists as a "taste of travel memories".
　
In addition, in recent years, the "Spicy Garlic Miso Sauce" and the "Dressing" series that use miso and soy sauce luxuriously have attracted attention. While based on traditional miso, we pursue new flavors that go well with modern dining tables. It is popular for its use in a wide range of dishes, including vegetables, meat dishes, and salads, and the number of repeat customers is increasing on the online store.
　
The biggest attraction of all products is that they are additive-free and coloring-free, so you can use them with confidence, and you can easily enjoy the "authentic taste" of Hida Takayama's nature and craftsmanship at home.
