Sakura's journey began in 1940, led by Mr. Suekichi Nakaya, a Japanese immigrant who arrived in Brazil at the beginning of the 20th century. From the start, the company stood out for its production of soy sauce (shoyu) and soybean paste (miso), two traditional Japanese culinary foods that, over time, have become essential items on Brazilian tables.
