Sakura Traditional Soy Sauce (Shoyu Tradicional)

Sakura is a major Brazilian brand specialized in Asian cuisine products, most notably soy sauce (shoyu). Founded in 1940 by Suekichi Nakaya, an immigrant from Japan, the brand began as a small family production in São Paulo. Over the decades, Sakura Nakaya Alimentos has grown into a leader in the South American market, maintaining its production base in Brazil.

The brand is widely recognized for its natural fermentation process, blending Japanese traditional methods with local Brazilian soy and corn production. Today, Sakura remains a privately held company owned by the Nakaya family, continuing its legacy as one of the largest liquid condiment manufacturers in Latin America, serving both the retail and food service industries.
