Sakura Shoyu Tradicional

Sakura Shoyu Tradicional is a staple soy sauce brand in Brazil, particularly within the Asian-Brazilian culinary sector. Founded in 1940 by Suekichi Nakaya, an immigrant from Japan, Sakura started as a artisanal production facility in Sao Paulo to provide traditional Japanese flavors to the local community. It eventually became the first company in the world to produce soy sauce through a corn and soybean fermentation process on an industrial scale outside of Asia.

The brand is manufactured and managed by Sakura Nakaya Alimentos Ltda. over several decades, maintaining its heritage as a family-founded enterprise. Today, it remains one of the largest producers of fermented sauces in South America, with multiple production facilities located across Brazil. The company continues to be headquartered in Brazil and serves as the ultimate owner of the brand's extensive portfolio of sauces, seasonings, and canned goods.
