Company Profile
Founded in 1349, Shiose is the oldest confectionery in Japan. We are one of the most traditional companies in Japan and a leading company that has shaped Japanese food culture. A descendant of the famous Chinese poet Lin Hejing, Shiose's first generation, Lin Jo-in, came to Japan from China in 1349. He was good at making steamed buns with meat, and created Japan's first sweet red bean paste and steamed buns with red bean paste for monks who could not eat meat. He settled in Nara and started a bun shop, and his buns became popular among the upper class and were later presented to the emperor, and spread throughout the country as the first Japanese confectionery. Since then, it has been loved by successive shoguns and received the title of "Japan's No. 1 Manju shop" from Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa and the family crest from Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado. In the Edo period (1603-1867), it was introduced in the guidebooks of the time as the best confectionery in Japan, and there are descriptions of people vying to buy it. Later, Shiose was the first confectioner to be appointed by the Ministry of the Imperial Household, and was often called upon by His Majesty to arrange festive banquets.
We are also well versed in the world of tea. Lin Soumi, a descendant of Lin Jo-in , studied tea under Sen no Rikyu, the most famous tea master in Japan, and took his granddaughter as his wife, who had a great influence on the tea ceremony.
Today, we are a food company using the material of Hokkaido, Japan, offering confections, teas, and healthy food products made from the finest Japanese ingredients. We, as the oldest food company in Japan, continue to challenge ourselves today to bring comfort to people's hearts through their eyes and tongue. We look forward to hearing from you.
