What would become Toraya was founded in the 16th century in Kyoto by Kurokawa Enchū (黒川円仲).[2][3] The company joined as a purveyor to the Imperial Court in Kyoto during the reign of Emperor Go-Yōzei.[4]
Due to its longevity and being a family business since its founding, it is a member of the Henokiens association.[5]
