Eight Decades of History and Success:
The Sakura Journey
Over eight decades, many chapters of success have been written. Discover some key moments in Sakura’s journey and understand why this story is, in many ways, also yours.
Sakura’s journey began in 1940, led by Mr. Suekichi Nakaya, a Japanese immigrant who arrived in Brazil in the early 20th century. From the very beginning, the company stood out for producing soy sauce (shoyu) and soybean paste (miso), two traditional staples of Japanese cuisine that, over time, became essential items on Brazilian tables.
Today, in addition to its renowned soy sauce, known for its distinctive character, Sakura and its various brands offer more than 300 products and are present in over 100,000 points of sale.
