Hekinan

Kinuura Bay defines the setting of Hekinan — its sheltered waters and port facilities connect this low-lying Aichi city with the maritime economy of the Mikawa region. On the bay’s eastern shore, Hekinan is part of the urban and industrial belt facing the Chita Peninsula across the water. The city is closely associated with shiro shoyu, or white soy sauce, a pale, wheat-forward seasoning developed locally and still produced by established brewers. Mikawa mirin, the region’s sweet rice cooking wine, is another important element of its food culture.
