LIST OF MEMBERS
Oka Shoyu Brewery Co., Ltd.
Our company was founded in 7th year of Teimei era (1787) by Chubei Oka, a merchant from Oumi who started a shoyu brewery in Omama. The retail store was opened as a branch of current “Oka Naosaburo Shoten” in Tokiwa-Cho, Takasaki in 30th year of Meiji era (1897), by Soichiro Oka, the 4th head of the family. The business was reorganized as Oka Shoyu Brewery in 28th year of Showa era (1953), and we have been in the business to this day. Although we stopped producing shoyu about 20 years ago, we still outsource production to our affiliate company, Oka Naosaburo Shoten, and continue to retail and wholesale our products under the name of “Hiki Soichiro Shoyu.”
Our brewery has been in business for over 120 years since it first opened in 30th year of Meiji era (1987) at the location along Kyu-Nakasendo path. In addition to our local customers, we have been visited by both domestic and foreign tourists with an interest in history and classical architectures along the path. We still use the original building and the brick chimney that was in use until a few years ago has been a pleasing sight to tourists walking along the path. It has been featured on TV travel programs and used as a filming location for movies many times.
Message
Since our founding in 30th year of Meiji (1897), we have had our storefront along Kyu-Nakasendo path in Takasaki for over 120 years, and we have been patronized by many customers. Although we have stopped producing at the current location, we are still visited by local customers and the tourists walking along the path. We strive to continue operating our business with gratitude for our customers and our products in mind.
