Miko Instant Miso Soup with Tofu, 5.33 oz

Founded in 1662, Miyasaka Brewery Co., Ltd. has a long and storied history of producing premium quality Japanese beverages and foods. It all began with Ihei Arimasa Miyasaka, the 12th head of the Miyasaka family, who started a brewery in the city of Kamisuwa, Nagano, Japan. Over the next 300 years, the company dedicated tremendous time and effort to perfecting its flagship sake, "Masumi," which is renowned for its exceptional aroma, body, and rich taste. A key factor in Masumi's popularity was the company's successful development of a special high-quality yeast.

In 1916, the Miyasaka Brewery leveraged its expertise in sake production to venture into the miso market, introducing the Miko-chan trademark. Then, in 1968, the company embraced the latest technological advancements and successfully applied them to the development of freeze-dried products. By continuously exploring new perspectives on food and nutrition, Miyasaka has been able to expand its product range and bring traditional, healthy Japanese cuisine to a global audience.

At the heart of Miyasaka's mission is the desire to provide the best-quality miso to households worldwide. But what exactly is miso, and why is it so highly regarded?

Miso is a well-balanced, nutritious Japanese seasoning made from fermented soybeans, salt, and koji (a type of fungus). It comes in a variety of forms, each with its own unique applications:

Miso Paste: This versatile ingredient can be used as a soup base, a marinating sauce for meats, fish, and tofu, a salad dressing, or a dipping sauce. The paste is made by fermenting soybeans, salt, and koji.

Instant Miso Soup: Available in both powder and block forms, instant miso soup comes with all the necessary ingredients, such as tofu, seaweed, and garnishes, pre-packaged for quick and easy preparation. The powder version typically features smaller pieces of tofu and garnishes, while the block version offers more substantial ingredients.

Miyasaka's latest product, the 8-pack Miyasaka Tofu Instant Miso Soup, combines the convenience of instant miso with the healthy benefits of non-GMO soybeans, no saturated fat, and no cholesterol. This quick and easy-to-prepare miso soup allows consumers to enjoy the traditional flavors of Japan in the comfort of their own homes.

By introducing this versatile and nutritious Japanese staple to a global audience, Miyasaka Brewery Co., Ltd. aims to encourage a greater appreciation for the rich culinary heritage of Japan. Through its commitment to quality, innovation, and the dissemination of traditional knowledge, the company continues to fulfill its mission of bringing the best-quality miso to every household worldwide.
