Located in Asakusa, Tokyo, our store offers Clear Soy Sauce, sweet Kyushu soy sauce, miso, and other Japanese seasonings.
Taste our seasonings and discover the unique flavors of Kumamoto, Kyushu.
Our Roots Date Back to 1607.
In the early 1600s, before Kumamoto Castle was built, the Okubo family operated a sake brewery and money exchange business.
In 1869, the 11th-generation head of the Okubo family shifted the family business from sake brewing to soy sauce production.
The business was then known as “Hisaya.”
Over time, the business expanded beyond Kumamoto to Kyushu, Kansai, and overseas markets.The name “Demachi Hisaya” honors the origins of Fundodai's soy sauce business.
It All Began in Dekyomachi (Now Demachi).

Japanese Home Cooking
Join our Japanese Home Cooking Workshop, held approximately once a month. Our first session is planned for December 5, 2026.
Many international visitors stop by Demachi Hisaya in Asakusa to discover Clear Soy Sauce, sweet Kyushu soy sauce, and other Japanese seasonings.Visitors often ask how to use these seasonings and what dishes Japanese families cook with them.
Inspired by these questions, we created a hands-on workshop where guests learn to cook seasonal Japanese home dishes using soy sauce, miso, and dashi.
Learn simple recipes and seasoning tips you can enjoy at home, even after returning from Japan.
Tour guides are welcome to contact us for workshop information and group inquiries.
