Introduction: About Wei Rong SAUCECO, hidden in the alleys of Fengyuan, the rich and savory aroma of Wei Rong has been maturing for over 70 years. This deep, rich flavor has simmered over history to create Taiwan's first brand of organic miso and organic black soybean soy sauce. Founded by Mr. Hsu Huo-Lieh in 1945 as the first professional brewing and production factory in Central Taiwan, using locally sourced high-quality agricultural products to make miso, red yeast rice, and doubanjiang. In 1976, Mr. Hsu Tsung-Lin took over and introduced the production line for black soybean soy sauce and vegetable preserved canned products. In 1999, the third generation, Mr. Hsu Li-Sheng, standardized the processes and successfully implemented food safety, organic brewing, and industrial tourism, breaking traditional industry frameworks and enhancing brand value. Wei Rong aims to continue the spirit of Taiwan's brewing culture, promoting local cultural crafts and agricultural products by establishing the nation's first miso brewing cultural museum. Through sensory experiential hands-on activities and a 'mobile museum' concept with local revitalization operations, it continues to stimulate regional prosperity. The building is constructed with an environmentally friendly green architecture concept, featuring displays of century-old antique cedar barrels and koji boxes, and introduces the history and varieties of early fermented food sources, helping the public understand miso and various fermented foods while providing safer, richer, and healthier kitchen sauces and creative cultural souvenirs.
