The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), has supported Chiba Shoyu Co., Ltd., a leading Japanese soy sauce manufacturer with over 170 years of history, and Kampai (Japanese restaurant), a well-established Japanese restaurant and prominent player in the Indian restaurant industry, to introduce the first-ever locally produced authentic Japanese soy sauce to India. This initiative, titled, ‘Development of the Soybeans Industry through Japanese Traditional Koji in India’, is part of JICA’s SDGs Business Validation Survey, which aims to promote sustainable development and support local enterprises by sharing Japanese expertise in food processing and manufacturing.
The success of this collaboration was celebrated at Kampai, New Delhi, on October 16, 2024, with the official unveiling of Chiba Shoyu’s first batch of authentic soy sauce. Attendees included Avantika Sinha Bahl, founder and managing director of Kampai, and Ankur Chawla Kampai, Kyosuke Iida, president of Chiba Shoyu, Tomohiro Arima, senior representative of JICA India, and representatives from the Japanese embassy. Guests had the opportunity to taste the locally produced soy sauce paired with a curated menu that showcases its potential to enhance the Indian culinary landscape.
Arima said, “It is an immense pleasure to be part of this collaboration, which is not just about introducing a Japanese product to the Indian market but also represents a deeper cultural exchange between Japan and India. The partnership between Chiba Shoyu, known for its expertise in authentic soy sauce production, and Kampai, recognised for its commitment to bringing true Japanese flavours to the Indian culinary scene, sets a new benchmark for quality and taste. Through this initiative, we aim to empower local industries by sharing Japanese expertise and contribute to ‘Make in India’ initiative in line with the Indian government's goals.”
