Kewpie Tosu Factory is the factory of Kewpie Corporation, which pioneered the manufacturing and sale of mayonnaise in Japan in 1925. Located in Tosu City, Saga Prefecture, it continues to produce mayonnaise, dressings, baby food, and more. The factory tour provides detailed insights into Kewpie's history, mayonnaise production, and quality control. A particular highlight is witnessing rarely seen processes, such as the egg-cracking machine (600 eggs per minute!) and the mayonnaise mixing machine. This is a valuable experience for both adults and children. The tour concludes with a tasting corner offering various Kewpie products. Factory-exclusive souvenirs are also available, making it a great place for souvenir shopping. While the tour lasts approximately one hour, the easy-to-understand explanations, especially for children, ensure a comfortable experience for families. Kewpie Tosu Factory is a learning and discovery-filled factory tour spot where you can see firsthand their commitment to food safety and quality.
