Oyamazaki Perilla Oil
In fact, Oyamazaki is known as the birthplace of perilla oil. The perilla oil of Oyamazaki is a prestigious specialty product that inherits a history of over a thousand years. It is said that the Riku-hachiman Shrine, located in this land, is the shrine of the 'Oil Ancestor,' where a Shinto priest invented an oil press called 'Nagaki' during the Jogan era of the Heian period and began making perilla oil. During the Kamakura period, an oil guild known as 'Aburaza' was formed, and by the Muromachi period, it is said that Oyamazaki oil was widely distributed from Northern Kyushu to Mino. It is truly the birthplace of Japan's oil industry. Because perilla oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, it is attracting attention once again with the rising interest in health consciousness. This is an oil from Oyamazaki that you can enjoy while feeling the weight of history.
