Made entirely from soybeans, salt, and water, hatcho miso is a unique miso paste that exhibits a robust flavor, powerful umami with a touch of acidity and astringency, as well as boasting a dense texture and dark color. You can use it for making miso soup, just like other miso. But in addition to that, it can enhance the flavors of various kinds of sauces, glazes, and condiments. This miso is vegan, and free from gluten and additives. It’s also unpasteurized, so it contains natural digestive enzymes.
Container holds 14.1oz.
Ingredients: organic soybean, salt.
Made by Maruya Hatcho Miso
Maruya Hatcho Miso’s origin dates back to as early as 14th century when the founder established a brewery. Since the early Edo Period around 17th Century, they have specialized in producing traditional “hatcho miso”, a unique type of miso made entirely from soybeans, salt, and water. Produced in the designated area of Hatcho town in Aichi Prefecture, they have maintained their natural production methods, which have been handed down for centuries.
In addition to producing their traditional miso, they currently make various hatcho miso-based items, including condiments, sauces, ramen and udon noodles, curries, and snacks.
