About Omiso

Omiso is a Los Angeles-based miso brand founded by artisanal maker Ai Fujimoto. Rooted in Japanese fermentation traditions, Omiso was created with a mission to bring miso into everyday American cooking and support gut health through real, living foods. For over 7 years, we’ve built a loyal following at the Hollywood Farmers Market, serving a highly health-conscious, plant-based community. Our products are now carried at Erewhon, one of the most premium grocery retailers in the U.S., where our Garlic Miso has become a customer favorite. Across different retail environments, Omiso products continue to show strong, repeatable demand: – In seafood markets like Santa Monica Seafood, our Yuzu Miso is a top choice for customers making miso-marinated salmon or black cod at home. – At high-end butcher shops, Garlic Miso is popular as a ready-to-use marinade and finishing sauce. – In boutique grocery stores such as Wine & Eggs (Atwater Village), our artisanal miso and Miso Soup Balls are best-selling staples. Made locally in Los Angeles using primarily U.S.-sourced ingredients, Omiso delivers bold umami flavor with a purpose—bridging Japanese fermentation with modern American kitchens.Read their story
