# Home - Mizkan

At Mizkan America, Inc., our success comes from over 220 years of rich Japanese tradition. Our roots go back to 19th century Handa where, in 1804, Mr. Matazaemon Nakano began producing rice vinegar using byproducts from the production of sake (rice alcohol). Little did he know that as he sold this new product to local sushi chefs, he was laying the groundwork for a company that would become the largest vinegar producer in the world.
