Enquan is a traditional Jiangxi food brand renowned for its time-honored soy sauce and fermented black beans. With a legacy of over a century, it uses ancient brewing methods to craft products that capture the essence of local flavors, cherished by consumers for generations.
Brand Story
Originating in Jiangxi, the Enquan brand traces its roots back to the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1875-1908), when it was founded by a local sauce master. Using carefully selected soybeans and premium wheat, the founder employed traditional brewing techniques to create soy sauce and fermented black beans with distinctive flavors, quickly gaining a reputation across the region. During the Republic of China era (1912-1949), Enquan products were presented as local delicacies to government officials and sold to neighboring provinces. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Enquan sauce workshop underwent public-private partnership and later transformed into a modern enterprise, yet it has always adhered to traditional brewing methods. Today, Enquan stands as a representative of Jiangxi's food culture, carrying the taste memories of generations and embodying the culinary wisdom of the Gan-Po region.
