Our Artisanal Yellow Miso Paste is a relatively young, lighter-colored miso known for its delightful fruity koji aroma. It typically has a salt content of around 7–9% and a very high koji ratio. It is naturally fermented, with no temperature control used to expedite the fermentation process. The fermentation period ranges from approximately 3 to 7 months.

When Ai visited one of the old miso breweries in Okayama Prefecture, she found that their Ama-miso, traditionally fermented in the Setonaikai area, shared many similarities in flavor and climate with our Yellow Miso.

We shikomi (prepare) our artisanal miso by hand in our commercial kitchen in Downtown Los Angeles, much like how each household in Japan traditionally made its own batches of miso at home. Our miso has a very high koji ratio, setting it apart from mass-produced miso made by large manufacturers.
