Established in 1914, this historic Kawasaki plant is where the world's most famous monosodium glutamate (MSG) seasoning was brought to life. Led by the brand's cheerful panda mascot, the entertaining factory tour guides guests through a 360-degree theater, historical dioramas, and views of the massive fermentation tanks. The experience culminates in a hands-on culinary workshop where visitors can bottle their own seasoning and test the savory magic of umami with a side-by-side miso soup tasting.
