Kikkoman
Recognised as one of the largest and few genuine soy sauce brands on the market, Kikkoman has gained prestige and adoration around the world for its premium quality products. Their soy sauce is naturally brewed and as such offers 'an authentic taste of Japan' by enhancing the flavours of many different types of international dishes through its umami rich taste profile.
Gekkeikan
Gekkeikan is one of the most well-known brewers and the official purveyor to the Japanese Imperial Family. Since their first brewery was established in 1637, Gekkeikan has been dedicated to providing great-tasting sake to an extensive market. They are now one of the most well-known sake brewers worldwide. Gekkeikan's first brewery was set up in Fushimi, Kyoto; a convenient location with access to high-quality water perfect for sake brewing. Japan Centre is proud to be the only supplier of Gekkeikan sake here in the UK.
We’re not all food and drink at Japan Centre. Founded in 1960, Sanrio is well-known for its adorable mascot character, Hello Kitty. You can find her alongside other popular characters including Little Twin Stars, Pompompurin, Gudetama, My Melody, Cinnamoroll and more. We strive to bring Japan to the UK through food, but also through Japan’s unique and varied culture, including anime, manga, crafts, serveware, cooking equipment and more.
