Mart soy sauce is the oldest soy sauce storehouse in Nara Prefecture. It was closed 70 years ago, but with the reconstruction of the soy sauce warehouse, this year, we will renovate a 130-140-year-old warehouse to a part of the accommodation building and open it again.

Upon the revival of the soy sauce warehouse, Hiroyuki Kimura, the 18th owner of the company, unraveled the old texts of the tradition and challenged to make soy sauce. While continuing to explore traditional manufacturing methods, it was discovered that Kuratsuki fungi had survived for the first time in 70 years, leading to the opening of this business.

In addition to ancient documents, the brewery, residential building and tools remain in the warehouse, and a part of the building will be renovated and a new start will be made as accommodation facility “NIPPONIA Taharamoto Malt Soy Sauce”. Soy sauce is still being brewed and we are aiming to launch it in 2022.

The entire mansion is centered around a main building that retains the unique Yamato-zukuri structure unique to Nara. From that appearance, you can feel the life of the brewers who lived and worked in this warehouse everywhere.

All seven guest rooms are furnished and decorated with the idea of how the soy sauce brewery used to be used.The room where old documents were stored is “Fuzo,” and the warehouse where raw materials are stored is ” Room names such as “Koji” and “Usui” are also based on the history of soy sauce making and brewing.

In the spaces other than the guest rooms, there are many feelings of “hospitality” that have been set up since the establishment of Kura. In the carefully-maintained garden, the scenery that has never changed, such as the decorative tiles of the Seven Lucky Gods, the Kasuga lantern, and the shrine that has prayed for 330 years, has been watching over the warehouse and the visitors. It was

Also, during the meal, there is a special back space that welcomed the best customers of the time. You can enjoy your breakfast in the calm air and clear air while admiring the beautiful garden view.

NIPPONIA Taharamoto Malt Soy Sauce is the first accommodation facility here in Tawaramoto Town, Nara Prefecture.

Surrounded by fields and overlooking the original landscape of Yamato, there are many important cultural properties, ruins, and shrines and temples.

Muraya Shrine is located in the primeval forest where the only ancient spirit remains in the Nara basin, and it is said to be the palace of Ojin Shrine, which is said to be the oldest in Japan. It has been done. In addition, it is surrounded by ruins such as Karako and Kagi ruins, a national historical site that is a moat settlement of the Yayoi era that was 2200 years ago, and Rikou ruins where there is the Yamadai national theory, and mountains such as Miwa and Nikamiyama, You can have an experience that can be called “homecoming”.

Furthermore, Taharamoto is a land that has created a lot of “starting points” for food ingredients. It is also the birthplace of rice cultivation in Yamato, and in autumn you can see the magnificent scenery of swaying rice ears. Other than that, 90% of the cultivated species of watermelon distributed in the whole country are Tahara’s original products, and the small “Ancient peach”, which is said to dispel evil, has many seeds found from the ruins of this area Or

For Taharamoto, which is the birthplace of brewing culture, the origin of agriculture and food culture, we hope that this inn will enhance the attractiveness of the area and become one of the bases where guests outside the region can enjoy it even more.

Soy sauce, which has revived for the first time in 70 years, is still being brewed. The soy sauce of malt soy sauce, which is particular about local ingredients and natural brewing, is carefully aged for about two years before it can be served to customers as soy sauce. Sales will start in 2022.

Since its founding in 1689, the taste has been carefully made with soybeans and wheat, which are mainly from Tahara, and it was rich in flavor and was a purveyor to the imperial family. We provide customers with a gentle menu that takes care of their body using local ingredients and malt soy sauce.

“Important things you won’t notice if you’re nearby”
Through the experience of staying at this inn, the place where the brewer who was working at that time was staying overnight, or you could have a meal using local ingredients, the life of the soy sauce warehouse at that time and the local You can feel the whole charm.

Taharamoto is an area that can be said to be the “beginning of Japan,” and the Japanese landscape has preserved the original landscape of Yamato for 2000 years while respecting and aweing of nature. We felt the existence of God there, learned the importance of food, and walked so far. The brewing of soy sauce is also said to “see God” in the fermenting scene, and I am making it while feeling it.
There may have been a feeling in ancient times that we, who are living in the present age, cannot feel it.

For me, the revival of the soy sauce brewery for the first time in 70 years has given me a chance to come into contact with what is important in the region.

Once again, why don’t we get a glimpse of the origins of the Japanese people together?
I think it will give important things that I have forgotten to my family, couple, lover, best friend, and myself.
We look forward to working with you to create something important.
