History of Kubara Honke Group

A Long-Established Business
with a History more than 130 Years Long

It has been 120 years since a small shoyu maker began production in the village of Kubaramura (now Hisayama-machi). The first-generation proprietor, Tosuke Kawabe, was also the first-generation headman of this village. The village residents of the time are said to have given their unstinting support to the establishment of Kubara Shoyu. Today, just as long ago, we have taken on the challenges of a variety of different possibilities, but what is truly at the very core of our hearts and minds is still a feeling of gratitude, unchanged from those first days. We hope to go on repaying our debt to the people of the local community as we continue on our long journey forward.
