We will always produce soy sauce that can be safely used around the world.

We, NAKAROKU CORPORATION, specialize in the manufacture and sale of TAMARI soy sauce which has traditionally produced in the Tokai area of Japan and KOIKUCHI soy sauce which is in widespread use all over the country.
Since our founding in 1920, while maintaining the traditional method of producing TAMARI soy sauce, we have consistently made good products that meet our customers’ demands by continually incorporating the latest technologies and introducing modern equipment and facilities.

We place the highest priority on providing safe food to our customers.
In 2017 we obtained FSSC22000 certification that is virtually the highest-level global standard for food safety. We also work on the food safety plan in accordance with FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) in USA.
In this manner, we provide customers with the products that can be safely used by making a mechanism which enables us to continuously promote the activities for ensuring food safety.

Soy sauce, as one of Japanese traditional seasonings, is now used in more than 100 countries.
Our soy sauce products are also used at a wide variety of restaurants and food manufacturers, going well with not only Japanese dishes but Western, Chinese and fusion dishes. Consequently we have so far exported our products to more than 15 countries.

We will manufacture and sell soy sauce products that can be used worldwide by drawing out the potential power of soy sauce as a Japanese traditional seasoning.
