Features of Maruya Hatcho Miso: Maruya Hatcho Miso is made in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, using traditional methods that have been passed down for over 260 years. It is a soybean miso made exclusively with domestic soybeans and salt. Aged for a long time until it turns a deep brown, Hatcho miso is unique in its mellow flavor with a subtle acidity and astringency. Hatcho miso is an essential seasoning in Japanese cuisine, imparting a rich, deep flavor to dishes.
About Products Made Using Traditional Methods: Established by order of Tokugawa Ieyasu in the early Edo period, the Hatcho miso production method has been passed down in Hatcho Town for over 260 years. Hatcho miso is made by placing soybeans and salt in a wooden barrel, placing many stones on the barrel lid as a weight, and fermenting it over two summers and two winters. Aging and fermenting Hatcho miso over a long period in a natural climate brings out the innate umami of Japanese cuisine, a flavor not found in regular miso. This traditional method is still practiced in Japan only in this region of miso.
Maruya Hatcho Miso Powder: Easy-to-Use
Maruya Hatcho Miso is a rich, hard miso that is originally aged for two summers and two winters. Maruya Hatcho Miso Powder maintains its quality by slowly drying and powdering it over a long period using a “hot air kneading process.” This results in a fragrant, mellow texture. Because Maruya Hatcho Miso Powder dissolves easily, it can be easily used in miso soup and as a topping for seasonings, among other things. Maruya Hatcho Miso Powder was developed to allow more people to enjoy miso, a miso previously reserved for Japanese chefs. It’s recommended for those who want to incorporate the richness and umami of authentic Japanese cuisine into their own cooking.
Maruya Hatcho Miso Powder comes in a convenient resealable bag. Unopened Maruya Hatcho Miso Powder can be stored at room temperature for long periods. The bag has a zipper, so you can easily take out the contents using a teaspoon or tablespoon. After opening, close the zipper, store at room temperature, and consume as soon as possible. If you use Maruya Hatcho Miso Powder in miso soup, one 50g bag will make about five cups of miso soup.
Sprinkle Hatcho miso powder on dishes like salmon meunière or fried chicken to add richness and depth. Mix it with wine vinegar, honey, and olive oil to make a carpaccio dressing. Sprinkle Hatcho miso on a baguette and pair it with tomatoes and Camembert cheese for a delicious canapé. Sprinkle Hatcho miso powder on vanilla ice cream for an American-inspired dessert. To make traditional miso soup, add a few teaspoons of Hatcho miso powder to hot water with dashi stock and add dried wakame or dried aosa seaweed. Hatcho miso powder can be stored at room temperature for two years. Once opened, keep the bag tightly closed and store at room temperature for several months. Hatcho miso is also sold in paste form, which is convenient for simmering dishes like soups, stews, curries, and noodles.
