Why Not Try Takeda Miso at Their Best?
Takeda Miso is a miso maker in Nagano. They have brewed since 1930. Trying to know them, you must take their best miso. It is Tokusen Meijo that means the Special Choice Miso.
Nagano is a prefecture within Shinsyu area. It is said that they have been prosperous to brew miso there for a long time. In the Age of Civil Wars, the soldiers used to have special ropes. They made ropes of taro stalks and then, stewed with miso. So they were able to make miso soup easily because they boiled water, let some pieces of the ropes in, and completed was miso soup. It is doubtless that we always need food for survival.
Shinsyu Miso has taken up about 40 % of Japanese total miso consumption still today.
Here, let me explain what Shinsyu Miso is. It is, to say roughly, a kind of rice miso. Rice 12 to Soybeans 10 in the Special Choice Miso, which means it is gorgeous one. By the way, a usual case of Shinsyu Miso is Rice 8 to Soybeans 10. The higher the ratio is, the sweeter and the more fragrant it is. Out of steady maturing, it tastes really fine.
