Iichi Miso: Premium Red Miso

Experience Tradition in Every Spoonful
"Iichi Miso" is crafted using carefully selected domestic soybeans, rice, and salt, combined with pure underground water from the Hakone mountain range. Aged in traditional wooden barrels that have been in use for over 90 years, its production method has remained virtually unchanged, preserving the authentic taste and craftsmanship of its origins.

The Unique Flavor of Wooden Barrel Fermentation
While modern stainless steel and FRP tanks are now the standard in miso production, Kato Heitaro Shoten remains committed to using traditional wooden barrels. These well-aged barrels are home to beneficial microorganisms that develop over decades, giving "Iichi Miso" its signature flavor and depth. This natural process distinguishes it from mass-produced alternatives, ensuring a rich, artisanal quality.
