[Original Case Pack: 8 units] This miso is the masterpiece of Japan's century-year miso history, and when you taste it, you will immediately know why. Crafted by Kyoichi Nakata, who also invented the first non-additive miso in Japan, this miso proudly exhibits the distinctive, ancient bold flavors of salty and rich umami. To make this miso, a two-year process of fermentation is undertaken, but it is well worth the time and effort. You will easily realize the significant difference in the flavor of this miso compared to other mass-produced miso pastes. Many people enjoy miso soup and adding miso to other dishes because of the health benefits miso offers, but you will likely want to make this a staple in your kitchen simply because of the amazing flavor.
