Traditional red miso from Toyama 1kg

The miso味噌 (pronounced misso) is an age-old food and a mainstay of Japanese cuisine. It is produced from fermented soybeans and a grain, often rice, wheat or barley.

The producer Yamagen  山元 in the prefecture of Toyama, has been committed to passing on the family's traditional know-how since 1772 and still perpetuates the ancestral gestures of the miso pasta making processes.

This Red Miso 赤味噌 (aka miso) has undergone a long fermentation process hence its strong taste stronger than white miso and rich in umami. Produced from soybeans and rice (kome miso), it can be used to prepare miso soups, for meat marinades or as a sauce base.

Miso is rich in protein and has beneficial effects on digestion, cholesterol and blood circulation. Miso contains a lot of salt, so be careful how much you use.

Use this Yamagen Genuine Red Miso and enjoy the great tasting qualities of this naturally health-promoting condiment with an exceptional umami flavour!
