Creating a traditional taste that makes use of the abundant blessings of the Kanto Plain is the commitment of "Raft Yaki Honpo Shojo".
Located in Sawara, Katori City, Chiba Prefecture, the store built in 1832 has been selected as a prefectural designated tangible cultural property, and the surrounding area is part of the "Ono River and Buildings with Edo Style" as a nationally designated important traditional buildings preservation district. In this historical landscape, we continue to take on new challenges that meet the needs of the times while preserving traditional techniques.
In the 40th year of the Showa era, we established a shellfish farming factory in Kashimanada and have been striving to secure fresh materials. In addition, since Showa 62, we have been working on the development of food processing to meet the needs of the new era, such as retort foods, vacuum-processed foods, and chilled foods, in addition to tsukuni and pickles.
In particular, "raw soy sauce", which is manufactured and sold as a main soy sauce, has gained popularity as a gem that adheres to the traditional manufacturing method. The unique flavor created by combining fermentation and aging techniques cultivated in soy sauce production with fresh local ingredients is a taste unique to "Shojo" that cannot be tasted anywhere else.
In recent years, he has won numerous awards, including the "Snack Grand Prix" and the "Japan Gift Award". The company's willingness to continue to innovate while preserving tradition has been highly praised by experts. The spirit of "seeking deliciousness" that has been passed down for more than 200 years will continue to be the starting point of our product creation.
