Fermented Soy Bean Paste

Fermented Soy Bean Paste
Many Japanese swear by the old saying that, 'a bowl of miso soup a day keeps the doctor away'. Miso is made from soy beans and usually rice or barley, which are steamed, mixed with koji (a fermentation starter) and left to ferment for six months to five years. The longer the fermentation, the darker and richer the miso. Modern analysis shows that miso is an extremely nourishing and well-balanced food containing protein, vitamins and essential amino acids. Most famously used in soups, it can add flavour to many dishes.

Hanamaruki Foods Inc.

Hanamaruki miso paste is made from only the finest soy beans, cultivated on North American farms. Shiro (white) miso is a lightly coloured smooth soy bean paste with a delicate flavour, and Aka (red) miso has a stronger flavour. Both miso pastes are versatile, allowing for both traditonal and creative cooking, and are available in both commercial and home-use type. Miso production is carried out under Hanamaruki's own strict sanitation system.
