Kinoene Soy Sauce, established in 1830, is a historic soy sauce maker in Noda City, known as the "soy sauce town." While tours aren't available, visitors can stroll around the factory grounds to experience the traditional atmosphere and the distinct aroma of soy sauce. The company's headquarters and factory buildings were recognized in 2007 as a Modern Industrial Heritage site by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The black-walled main building and large tanks offer a glimpse into the area's rich soy sauce production history. Located near Atago Station on the Tobu Noda Line, it's a worthwhile stop for those interested in local history and industry.
