Nomura Soy Sauce began brewing soy sauce and miso using these vats in the early Meiji period (late 19th century). At the "Experience Storehouse Shigeemon," which opened in 2016, visitors can not only receive a lecture on the soy sauce brewing process, but also experience oar stirring to promote fermentation. The brewery will open on November 11, 2022. The experience brewery is closed as of November 2022 and will reopen in spring 2023 or later.
