Horikawaya Nomura

Horikawaya Nomura has been perfecting the art of soy sauce and miso brewing for over three centuries. Situated in Gobo City, Wakayama Prefecture, this historic brewery is led by the 18th-generation Nomura-san, recognized as a master in the art of koji fermentation. He tailors different types of koji to each product, enhancing their unique flavors and personalities. Committed to tradition, the brewery uses wood fires for essential processes, unlike most modern producers. Their miso, made in small batches with limited availability, is a testament to their dedication to quality and traditional methods. For more information, you can visit The Japanese Pantry.
