Mizkan is a world-renowned manufacturer of the sauces and condiments for sushi


History

The history started in 1804 from Matazaemon Nakano’s idea to use sake precipitation for the rice vinegar manufacture. The famous chef Yohei Hanaya was so surprised by this vinegar that he started to use it in cooking the rice dressing for new kind of sushi – nigiri-sushi. It was more than two centuries ago but Mizkan continues to create the best rice vinegar in the world using the traditional recipe and high-tech equipment.

Values and Mission
