Seasonings from Kanto

The original shichimi togarashi, kioke-brewed shoyu (soy sauce), and the miso dipping sauce of Utsunomiya. Flavors made by hand since Edo, brought to your table.

What sets Kanto's seasonings apart

Kanto's seasonings are built around koikuchi shoyu (soy sauce), which grew up inside a system of shipping goods by water into Edo, the great consuming city of its day. Shoyu from Noda, Choshi and Tsuchiura. Shichimi togarashi (seven-spice chili blend) from Asakusa. Rice koji miso from Utsunomiya. For how each prefecture differs in detail, see the individual prefecture pages.
