About Us

For four generations, Hikari Miso craftsmen have been mindful stewards of the earth, passionately working with nature and the spirit of itadakimasu to the benefit of all – our customers, our employees, and our planet.

We craft our distinctive, flavorful foods in Nagano, Japan, where the forces of water, air, and cool climate come together in singular fashion to provide an ideal environment for making miso. It is only here that the distinctive taste of Hikari Miso can be created.

The soybeans and rice used to produce our organic miso products are grown on strictly managed farms that adhere to the highest standards and practices. No banned chemicals or synthesized fertilizers can be used during cultivation. These farms are located in environments with cool weather, moderate rain, and nutritious black soil, which favor cultivation. We thank nature for her blessings and all that we grow and harvest together.

Product Description

Organic red miso paste. This product is made of 100% organic rice and soybeans and is additive free. A long fermentation process creates its distinct, deep rich taste and aroma as well as chunky texture.
