Morita Aji-no-Yakata

Morita Aji-no-Yakata, Corporate and food museum in Tokoname, Japan.

Morita Aji-no-Yakata is a corporate museum of Morita Co. in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, opened in 1990 in a brewing storehouse about 160 years old. Videos present the making of sake, miso and soy sauce, and the first floor holds a permanent exhibition on Akio Morita, the 15th head of the Morita family and Sony's co-founder, with some 200 photographs, 1960s home videos, books and personal items.

The museum was established in 1990 and documents the history of the Morita Company, which specializes in agricultural products and traditional Japanese beverages. The facility also honors Akio Morita, the founder of Sony, with a dedicated memorial space.

The facility demonstrates how fermentation techniques are deeply rooted in the regional food culture and continue to be used in making sake, miso, and soy sauce today. Visitors can observe how traditional methods remain connected to modern practices in producing goods that appear daily in local kitchens and restaurants.

The museum is open 10:00–16:00 and closed on Wednesdays, during the Obon holiday and over New Year. From Tokoname Station on the Meitetsu Tokonome Line or Utsumi Station on the Chita New Line, take the Tokoname community bus and get off at Morita Aji-no-Yakata-guchi or Kozureya, about 8 minutes on foot. By car it is about 5 minutes from the Takefu IC on the Minamichita Road. Factory tours require a reservation and are held only for groups of 15 or more.

The first floor holds a permanent exhibition moved from a 2007 Los Angeles showing of the "Ningen Morita Akio" photo and film exhibition, first held in Tokyo in 2004. It gathers about 200 photographs, 1960s home videos, his books and personal belongings, commemorating Akio Morita, 15th head of the Morita family and co-founder of Sony.
