TORY SAUCE

Unshakable passion for making a better taste of Worcestershire sauce since 1924

a message from Daishi Torii, President and a grandson of company's founder Tokuji Torii.

My grandfather, Tokuji Torii, launched to make Worcestershire sauce, supported by his father, Yoshitaro Torii, at Hamamatsu in 1924.

According to Tokuji, Worcestershire sauce was called "SEIYO SHOYU, western taste of soy sauce, and regarded as a new frontier product compared to the traditional soy sauce which has a history of more than 700years in Japan.
Therefore a young new comer like my grandfather, Tokuji, can set up a small factory and entered Worcestershire sauce market.

At the time of my grandfather's presidency, the local area, known as the birthplace of Japanese auto companies, Honda and Suzuki,or music instruments Yamaha and Kawaii, enjoyed economic boom due to the expansion of textile, piano and automobile industries.
The company was busy to make and deliver large bottles of Worcestershire sauce to many factory cafeterias located nearby.

At the time of presidency of my father, Kenichi Torii, the company expanded its product items not only to Worcestershire sauce but also vinegar and soft drinks with his brothers, Jokichi and Shoji.

Inheriting predecessors' spirits, I took in charge of this company in 2004 and challenged to get rid of food additives from our products to comply with consumer voices for food safety. Currently all the table-use sauce products are free, from food additives.

In order to secure high quality of our Worcestershire sauce, most of our hand-made manufacturing methods are kept unchanged. However, we believe we should keep reading gradually changing consumers’ preference for sauce and adjust our recipes generation by generation.
