Miso and our miso making kits

Miso is the most essential condiment for Japanese cuisine along with soy sauce and the Japanese have been cherishing it for many hundreds of years. 

Contrary to its complex taste and flavour, making miso is surprisingly easy. As a matter of fact, before mass industrialisation has began, miso has traditionally been made in individual household. The Japanese has given a special name “Temae-miso (手前味噌)” to homemade miso and boasted each other how special and tasty their own miso is.

Our miso making kits enable you and your family to enjoy Temae-miso.

Temae-miso is particularly healthy and tasty as it contains far more live microbes compared to commercially available products and numerous number of these little friends robustly support our immune system and protect us.

Each miso making kit makes approximately 800g of miso (500g for sweet miso)

What is included?

Our organic miso making kits include:

    1. organic raw koji, carefully made by us so that you can enjoy active enzymes to the fullest extent
    2. organic whole soy beans (organic de-skinned soy beans for sweet miso)
    3. organic naturally sun-dried salt (product of Greece)
    4. organic tanemiso
    5. wasabi (anti-mould agent)
    6. a sheet of edible japanese seaweed paper
    7. instruction about how to make miso
