Miso, a staple ingredient in Japanese cuisine, has a long and storied history. Introduced to Japan during the Asuka period (710-794), it was initially consumed by licking it directly. In the Kamakura period (1185-1333), the custom of eating miso soup with every meal became widespread, particularly among the samurai class. Over time, miso soup became a beloved part of the Japanese daily diet.

Our fine miso is meticulously crafted using a traditional wooden barrel fermentation process. The natural expansion and contraction of the wooden plates, influenced by the changing seasons, creates an ideal environment for the miso to develop its rich, complex flavors. This artisanal approach, passed down through generations, is essential in producing the distinctive taste and aroma of our miso.

Our small brewery, supervised by a renowned "Modern Master Craftsman" in Kyoto, upholds the traditional methods and philosophies of authentic miso making. Without relying entirely on machines, our skilled artisans employ their keen senses and expertise to ensure the highest quality and authenticity in every batch.
