Mitoku Organic Hatcho Miso
Hatcho Miso is in a category of its own — and this is the real thing. Mitoku Organic Hatcho Miso is crafted by the Kakukyu family, who have been making this legendary miso for 17 generations. The process is unlike any other: the miso is packed into giant cedar casks, sealed with a wooden pressing lid, and then crowned with a pyramid of 6,000 pounds of stones. This extraordinary pressure, combined with a minimal amount of water, allows Hatcho Miso to develop its signature bold, deeply complex umami flavor with less salt than other long-aged misos.
The result is a miso of remarkable depth — intensely savory, slightly earthy, and rich with the character that only comes from time-honored tradition. Use it to create deeply flavored miso soups, robust marinades, hearty stews, umami-rich sauces, and bold salad dressings. A little goes a long way.
