For over 140 years, Taihei has been producing premium soy sauce using a traditional method of fermentation in wooden barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eFounded in 1880 in Chiba Prefecture, Taihei produces quality soy sauces. Established in Sōsa, Chiba Prefecture (formerly Yōkaichiba), its artisans perpetuate traditional craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eThe cellars contain 117 solid cedar wooden barrels, among the few still existing in Japan, each measuring 2.7 meters in diameter and height. The fermentation method used there is natural. Each barrel produces approximately 10,000 bottles of soy sauce. The aging process here is a minimum of one year, using microorganisms that have populated the cellars for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify;\"\u003eTheir brewing method produces an exceptionally smooth soy sauce, with a perfect balance of taste, aroma, and color.
