Introduction: Wei Rong SAUCECO is tucked away in the alleys of Fengyuan, and the rich aroma of its sauces has been maturing for over 70 years. This thick and savory flavor, developed slowly through history, has established Taiwan's leading brand in organic miso and organic black bean soy sauce. Founded by Mr. Hsu Huo-Lieh in 1945, it became Central Taiwan's first professional brewing production factory, using high-quality local crops to produce miso, red yeast rice, and bean paste products. Under the management of Mr. Hsu Zong-Lin in 1976, production lines for black bean soy sauce and canned vegetable pickles were introduced. In 1999, the third generation, Mr. Hsu Li-Sheng, standardized the processes and successfully introduced "food safety," "organic brewing," and "industrial tourism," breaking through the traditional industry framework and enhancing brand value. To continue the spirit of Taiwan's brewing culture and promote local cultural crafts and agricultural products, the first Miso Brewing Culture Museum in the country was established. Through five sensory experiences and hands-on activities, utilizing the concept of a "moving museum" and local revitalization operations, the aim is to continually spur regional prosperity. The exterior of the building employs an eco-friendly green building concept, and inside, it displays century-old antique cedar barrels, koji boxes, etc., while introducing the origins, history, and types of early fermented foods. This helps the public understand miso and various brewed foods better, providing safer, richer, and healthier kitchen sauce options and creative souvenirs.
