Introduction
The Marukin Soy Sauce Memorial Museum sits on Shodoshima in a converted workshop of the century-old Marukin brewery — a living sample of the island's 'soy sauce island' culture. Giant cedar brewing vats and a wooden press are preserved, showing the traditional steps from steaming and fermentation to pressing, with tastings and authentic Shodoshima soy sauce to buy. A substantial stop for food and craft alike.
