In 1665, the Morita family began brewing sake on the Chita Peninsula in Aichi Prefecture. Later, miso (fermented soybean paste) and soy sauce were added to the family's product lineup. Over the nearly 350 years since its founding, the Morita family has been engaged in the business of brewery and fermentation-traditional Japanese food production arts.
In April 2013, Morita merged four Japanese food manufacturers from various regions into the group. Soy sauce made on Shodo Island and in other regions, Japanese pickles, and bottled water and tea were added to the company's product lineup.

The seasonings that provide the fundamental flavors of Japanese cuisine such as soy sauce, miso, and mirin (cooking sweet sake) and the sake that is served as an accent to meals are all fermented foods. These fermented foods are an essential part of Japanese cuisine, which is unique for its subtle yet profound qualities. Morita is the only company in Japan that manufactures many types of traditional fermented foods, including sake, soy sauce, miso, mirin, and pickled vegetables. Each of Morita's products is created using the traditions, techniques, and wisdom that we have cultivated over hundreds of years.

Morita maintains and passes on the traditional manufacturing methods and techniques for fermented foods that sustain the food culture of Japan. In this way, our mission is to convey the wonderful nature of Japanese cuisine to future generations and throughout the world, to further develop Japan's food culture, and to bring health and happiness to people.
