Takahashi Shoten

Takahashi Shoten started out brewing sake but later switched to using sake lees, a byproduct of the sake brewing process, to produce preserved fish and vegetables. Subsequently, the company developed various products that take advantage of local seafood and produce. Yuzusco, a citrus-based hot sauce, became a hit product nationwide, making it a favorite Yanagawa souvenir. The company also operates a factory-direct outlet that can accommodate tour buses.
