The
Tawaramoto area has an especially old history, even among Nara towns. This
land, which expands at the foot of Mt. Miwa, in which the gods sit, contains
the lives of people who value its myths and nature. Maruto Shoyu soy sauce,
which is loved by the people of this area, is the oldest soy sauce brewery in
Nara, with a history of over 300 years since its founding. After a 70 year
gap since it last closed, in 2020 it reopened as a soy sauce brewery that
guests can stay at. This is not just a brewery that makes soy sauce. It is a
place where one can experience Japanese food culture. Here, guests can enjoy
cuisine that uses handmade, mellow soy sauce, and sleep in a room that is
renovated from the past soy sauce storehouse. Read all about it here.
