Kayanoya came from Kubara Honke, a seasoning company. It was established in year 26 of the Meiji Era (1893 A.D.). A small soy sauce brewery opened in the village of Kubara (now the town of Hisayama). Some 120 years later, it still produces seasonings in Fukuoka.

Flavor Takes Time and Work

What must a food company do for future generations? That thought met with the slow food movement, and led to a restaurant that specializes in the tastes of seasonal ingredients. For the food we offer, the most important things are time and hard work.

Seasoning Series

The Birth of Kayanoya Dashi Series and Seasonings from the Voice of Customers

Many customers have told us that they would like to have the flavors of the restaurant at home. That's why we have created a series of dashi and seasonings, including Kayanoya Dashi, that are as close as possible to the restaurant taste, yet easy to use at home.
