IICHI represents top-class miso, prepared with carefully selected ingredients, underground water from the Hakone volcano system, and a precise aging process, carried out in wooden vats that they have used for over 80 years. The miso is largely produced by hand and the craftsmen stay true to their family recipe that has been used for 7 generations!

This K??jikoshi miso is a simple, smooth soybean and koji (rice malt) blend that brings out the sweetness of both ingredients. A very clean, miso with a light, sweet taste that is very popular with women and children and can be used for delicate flavored dishes and pastries.

The miso is best stored in a cooled area. In room temperature the color may darken over time - this does not affect the quality of the product!
