CEO Message
Since our establishment in the fourth year of Keio (1868), we have been brewing precious cedar barrel-aged, naturally fermented, and additive-free three-year aged miso. Traditionally known as "no rest for the three-year miso," this type of miso has recently gained attention as a "immune-boosting" miso. Additionally, our company specializes in catalog gifts and gifts for department stores, delivering additive-free fresh miso directly from the brewery to your doorstep.
Manufacturing process
Miso-making in cedar barrels with the traditional brewery yeast breathing on its own. The rich flavor unique to Ishii Miso has been passed down through generations in these cedar barrels.
Brewed in spring, enduring through the heat of summer and the cold of winter, passing through another summer and winter (crossing seasons twice), fully maturing, and shipped from the third year onwards, this miso is known as "three-year miso." Its taste and aroma are highly prized as top-quality products, embodying the essence of Shinshu miso.
Ishii Miso's miso is naturally fermented without the addition of preservatives, artificial flavorings, or any additives. It undergoes "natural fermentation," resulting in a safe and highly beneficial product that retains the live cultures of yeast and lactic acid bacteria, ensuring a delicious miso that is both safe and healthy.
