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 uniquely characterized by 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 environment brings out the inherent umami of Japanese cuisine, a flavor not found in regular miso. This traditional method is still practiced in this region of Japan, making it the only place in Japan where miso from this region remains.
Maruya Hatcho Miso, an artisanal miso, is aged for a long period of time, resulting in a very dense and firm texture. This reflects the high quality of Hatcho Miso, but because it takes a little longer to dissolve, it’s recommended for more elaborate, authentic Japanese cuisine rather than fast food. In Japan, Hatcho Miso is primarily used by chefs specializing in authentic Japanese cuisine. We also offer “Maruya Hatcho Miso Powder,” a powdered version of Maruya Hatcho Miso. This product retains the characteristics of Maruya Hatcho Miso Paste while shortening the dissolving time, making it ideal for those who want to use Maruya Hatcho Miso easily.
Maruya Hatcho Miso comes in a convenient plastic case for storage. Unopened Maruya Hatcho Miso can be stored at room temperature for up to two years. After opening, store in the refrigerator and use as soon as possible. If you use Maruya Hatcho Miso to make miso soup, one 300g box will make about 20 cups of miso soup.
