Learned a lot about soy sauce in this museum! Good smell everywhere and delicious soy sauce ice cream is a must for the visit:)

Short and simple museum, but very good value as you get a complimentary bottle of soy sauce plus 100¥ discount for the shop. The soft serve soy sauce ice cream is really good. Worth walking up the road to the nearby sake brewery and bakery, they're really good.

Nice to stop by if you are in the island - it’s interesting to know how soy sauce has been made in old days. Soy sauce ice cream is sold at the small shop next to the museum which seems to be more popular than the museum itself. Some souvenirs are also available. Free parking available and the whole area smells like soy sauce.

Interesting experience to visit a soy sauce factory. It gives you information on the production of soy sauce and the history of the industry. It also offers your to try different types of soy sauce (or other related products) before buying. And the soy sauce ice cream is a ‘must-try’.

A great way to find out how soy sauce is made! In the museum there were English explanations under the Japanese, so even though I can read kanji fairly well I felt like I understood the process better 😉 We couldn’t tour the factory but we did see the vats of beans and malt percolating. And the smell was something else!!

A fine place to learn about how to make soy sauce. Visitors get to learn the history of soy sauce making on Shodoshima island. Small and historic place. Soy sauce ice cream is acceptable, worth a try. But not many will like it.
