Mastering Small Barrels and Celebrating Enduring Tradition
We proudly partner with Kumpei, an artisan specializing in crafting small wooden barrels, to share the beauty of Japanese fermentation culture with the world.
 
Kumpei's barrels are meticulously handcrafted, ideal for making miso, pickles, and other fermented foods. These barrels foster unique microbial ecosystems that enhance both flavor and nutritional value over time.

Remarkably, traditional Japanese wooden barrels—especially large ones—can last for 100 to 150 years. These long-lasting barrels are a testament to the harmony between nature and craftsmanship, playing a vital role in preserving Japan’s culinary heritage.

To support the artisans preserving this tradition, we take no profit from the sale of these barrels. Instead, all proceeds go directly to sustaining their work. Through these barrels, we aim to connect people, cultures, and traditions from Japan to Australia and beyond.

Please note that the barrels are shipped from Japan, and delivery may take some time. If you're interested in larger barrels, feel free to contact us for more information.
