‘We make three different types of miso here: Tsuro-miso, has no additives and is made from only Japanese rice, wheat soybeans and sea salt; Sesame miso makes the most of sesame’s great flavour and abundant nutrients; and Kinzanji miso, made from soybeans and matured with kelp, ginger and glutinous malt sugar.’

‘We also experiment with these recipes adding spice, garlic, pepper etc to create dips and of course our famous freeze dried miso soup.’

‘Whichever miso you chose, it will be good for you. Miso is rich in magnesium and potassium, which can serve as an effective counter against excessive sodium intake, prevent high blood pressure and even strokes.’

‘Studies have shown that those who regularly drink miso soup are less susceptible to stomach disorders such as gastritis and gastric ulcers. Studies have also shown that a daily intake of miso soup can help to prevent breast and colon cancer.’
