Yamatoya Moriguchizuke Souhonke Main Store

Kiso River flows along the border between Aichi and Gifu prefectures. Moriguchi daikon is a long, thin radish grown in the sandy soil. Owari Mikawa has long been an area with a thriving brewing culture, producing soy sauce, miso, mirin, sake, vinegar, and more. Yamatoya's Moriguchizuke is characterized by the lees made from the product. We use a special blend of fermented sake lees and mirin lees. It takes two and a half to three years to create Moriguchi pickles. The entire process is completed after going through two salting processes and three pickling processes. The sweetness and elegant aroma of mirin lees alongside the delicious flavor of sake lees make it perfect with rice. It also goes well with sake and is recommended as a snack. Yamatoya's Moriguchizuke can be purchased at the main store, the Esca underground shopping mall at Nagoya Station, and the Sakae Chika store on Sakae Chika Street.
