Low-salted Shinshu Miso
Low-Salted Sweet Miso Made with Hand-Made Rice Koji
This miso boasts a gentle sweetness that is perfect for those concerned about salt content.
They've indulgently incorporated an ample amount of rice koji, reducing the salt content by approximately 30% compared to their signature miso.
It is naturally fermented, aged through the rich seasonal changes of Shinshu (Nagano's old name), and comes in an easy-to-use cup packaging, free from any alcohol.
You can use it in your daily miso soup, as a marinade, in dressings, or in a wide range of dishes that incorporate miso. The cup packaging makes it convenient for both serving and storage.
What makes them special?
The distinctive feature of their miso making is undoubtedly its traditional handcrafted rice koji, made using the age-old method of "Murobuta" or wooden box fermentation.
This process involves meticulously monitoring temperature and changes by hand.
They emphasize, "Starting with the creation of good koji is essential; otherwise, the resulting miso, soy sauce, and amazake won't turn out well."
They use this traditional rice koji in combination with high-quality domestic rice, domestically sourced soybeans, and natural salt, allowing it to mature for over a year in their cellar using natural fermentation techniques.
The resulting miso has a remarkable flavor and has won numerous awards at miso tasting competitions in Nagano Prefecture and throughout Japan.
Crafting Miso with a Variety of Small Batches
They specialize in producing and selling a diverse range of miso varieties, with particular attention to their standout product, "Shinshu Sommelier Miso," available in small quantities typically sold in sets.
This concept was born from the idea that, much like the concept of "marriage" in the world of wine, there could be complementary pairings of miso that enhance each other depending on personal preferences and the dishes they accompany.
Their handcrafted koji can accommodate small batches, allowing them to strike a harmonious balance between traditional techniques and modern needs in the production and sale of fermented foods.
This flexibility is one of the captivating aspects of Kojiya Moto-Fuji Brewery.
