What is KOUSO Fermented Drink?
“KOUSO fermented drink” is fermented extract of over 100 kinds of plant-based ingredients.
Japan has a long tradition of fermented products such as miso, soy sauce, and sake that utilize microorganisms, and they continue to be deeply ingrained in our lives today. In 1949, by utilizing the traditional fermentation technique and ancient wisdom, our founder Kunio Yamato developed a fermented drink using many different kinds of plant-based ingredients.
It is named “KOUSO fermented drink”.
YAMATO KOUSO’s KOUSO fermented drink has fermented plant extract of over 100 kinds of ingredients such as fruit vegetables, leaf vegetables, root vegetables, fruits, beans, mushrooms, grains, seaweeds, and herbs.
We are discerning about our plant ingredients, which are all cultivated domestically in the rich climate of the four seasons in Japan, and we use our traditional fermentation starter for fermentation and aging to produce our KOUSO fermented drink.
We proudly deliver delicious and nutrient-rich products with the highest quality.
