This deep, flavorful essence has been brewed slowly over history to produce Taiwan's first brand of organic miso and organic black bean soy sauce. Founded by Mr. Hsu Huo-Lieh in 1945, it was the first professional brewing production plant in central Taiwan, using locally sourced high-quality agricultural products to make miso, red yeast rice, and fermented bean paste products. In 1976, Mr. Hsu Tsung-Lin took over and introduced the production line for black bean soy sauce and pickled vegetable cans. In 1999, the third generation, Mr. Hsu Li-Sheng, standardized the production process and successfully introduced "food safety," "organic brewing," and "industrial tourism," breaking traditional industry frameworks and enhancing brand value. Weirong aims to continue the spirit of Taiwanese brewing culture, promoting local cultural crafts and agricultural products by establishing the first miso brewing culture museum in the country. Through sensory experience workshops and the concept of a "mobile museum," it continuously revitalizes and prospers the region. The building is constructed using eco-friendly green building concepts, featuring displays of century-old antique cypress barrels and koji fermentation boxes, while also introducing the early sources, history, and types of brewed foods, helping the public understand miso and various fermented foods, and providing safer, richer, and healthier kitchen condiments and creative souvenirs.
