Information

Classic Saikyo Miso, 20% Koji Rice 500g

Saiyko Miso Jyozen

オリジナル西京みそ 二割麹 500g

Classic Saikyo miso is a traditional Japanese fermented soybean paste that is known for its mild and sweet flavour. Saikyo miso is made using a special production method that involves a longer fermentation time and a higher percentage of rice koji compared to other types of miso.

To make classic Saikyo miso, soybeans are cooked and mashed, then mixed with rice koji, a type of fungus that is used to ferment many Japanese foods. The mixture is then left to ferment for several months, during which time the koji enzymes break down the starches in the soybeans, resulting in a sweet, creamy paste.

Classic Saikyo miso is lighter in colour and milder in taste compared to other types of miso, making it a popular choice for marinating fish and other delicate proteins. It is also used in a variety of dishes in Japanese cuisine, including soups, stews, and sauces.

Made in Japan to a very high standard.

Keep out of direct sunlight and keep at room temperature.
