The owner of SAIKYO MISO hopes that Japanese cuisine helps people understand Japanese culture more deeply. Japanese food is often noted for being healthy and low-fat, but he hopes people will not only enjoy it for its health benefits but also for its essence as being aesthetically pleasing to the eye and delectable to the pallet. Miso, with its delicate taste, is the critical flavoring at the foundation of Japanese cuisine. It, along with soy sauce and vinegar, is a traditional brewed flavoring that has been adored by the Japanese for over a thousand years.
Miso consists mainly of soy beans, rice, and table salt. The combination and aging of these ingredients produces a wide variety of miso rooted in the climate and culture of the various regions of Japan.
It is rich in plant protein, has a long shelf life, and goes well with a variety of ingredients.
The challenges of climate change have a big impact on miso production and traditional businesses like SAIKYO fight hard to ensure its future.
