Sasachou Traditional Natural-Brewed Miso 500g

Sasachou's traditional crafted miso made from 100% Japanese soybeans and rice, with sea salt from the Seto Inland Sea - all brought together using the company's pristine spring water (Hayachine Reisui).

This miso is fermented slowly in cedar wooden barrels, where it matures through the seasons under natural temperature changes. With a 70% koji ratio, it delivers a clean, sharp taste that balances savory depth with a subtle sweetness - a versatile medium-spicy (chū-kara) miso.

Use this traditional miso to bring out authentic Japanese flavour in soups, stews, sauces, marinades, and traditional dishes - or to add rich umami depth to creative modern cooking.

• Miso soup - classic Japanese soup with depth and balanced umami.
• Stews & simmered dishes - adds roundness and savoury richness to vegetables, meats, and root-vegetable dishes.
• Marinades & glazes - ideal for fish, meat or tofu, bringing balanced flavour and subtle sweetness.
• Sauces & dressings - mix with dashi, soy sauce, or vinegar for homemade sauces, dips, or dressings.
• Vegetable pickling / tsukemono - good base for lightly salted, flavourful pickles.

Allergens: Contains soybeans (primary ingredient).

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, best to refrigerate or keep tightly sealed to preserve freshness and prevent oxidation or unwanted fermentation.
