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

One of my favorite easily prepared meals is a mix of Chinese noodles, red miso, soy sauce, a dash of Sriracha for heat (I also have Korean gochujang paste which could be substituted), furikake (a seasoning comprised of sesame seeds and seaweed), and an optional coating of Kewpie mayo drizzled on top. It seems like a slight variation on many other noodle recipes I've found online. Once the noodles boil for 4 minutes, they can be tossed in that well-mixed sauce and the flavor is bold, full of umami, and salty.
I will definitely be buying this miso again and despite how large the tub is, I think I'll go through it fairly quickly because of how much I'm liking it at the moment. Disclaimer: this may be less interesting to someone well-versed in Asian cuisine but for a first-timer who is making the switch from Western food, it's a really exciting ingredient.
If you've never tried Miso paste, it tastes exactly like what you might imagine a concentrated soy sauce paste and a pure salt paste combined together might taste like. Incredibly, unbelievably strong flavor for only trying like an eighth of a teaspoon by itself. But that's good, I think, cause you're not supposed to eat this stuff plain. Concentrated flavor means you have to use less of it when adding it to a dish, so it goes a long way.
Just, uh, make sure not to add too much of it to any one dish cause this must have an insanely high salt content, judging by taste alone, so I can't imagine having a lot of this at once would be too great for your heart/health. In small quantities, though, good flavor.
