From Gotemba, at the foot of Mount Fuji

Our company

01 / A message from our president

Inheriting the taste. Embracing new challenges.

Since our founding in 1921, Sakaguchiya has devoted more than a century to the craft of making tofu. To the customers, local community and business partners who have supported us, we offer our heartfelt thanks.

We aim to make products that rise above the everyday, bringing out the best in our ingredients so that the very first bite speaks for itself. We use groundwater from Mount Fuji, nigari chosen to suit that water, and carefully selected soybeans, applying techniques passed down through generations to every product we make.

Even as convenience and affordability grow ever more important, we value the extra care of setting tofu by hand. Our craftspeople draw on their skill and experience to judge the condition of the ingredients as they work.

Our joy as makers comes from knowing that the rich flavour of soybeans and the pleasing texture of tofu can be enjoyed at an everyday meal or with a special evening drink.

To remain a familiar choice for our customers, we will build on the skills we have inherited while responding to changing tastes and ways of life. Listening to our customers will guide new ideas in both our products and the way we share their appeal.

We also have a responsibility to maintain quality and provide a steady supply. By continually reviewing how we work, we will keep improving the food we make.

We will pass the skills developed over a century to the next generation,

while embracing new challenges and continuing to earn the trust you place in Sakaguchiya.

Sakaguchiya K.K.
