The power of miso
Samurai soldiers took miso to the battlefield. Miso is a wonderful Japanese fermented food that promotes bodily strength and health. Miso’s health benefits have been known and enjoyed for over 1,000 years including by the samurai who used it to sustain themselves on the battlefield.
Miso’s unique dietary properties were recognized long before the advent of nutritional science. Referred to as the "panacea" for detox, it was known for improving blood circulation
and moisturising the skin.
Our miso is active and made from non GMO, organic, 100% natural ingredients. In order to maximise its nutritional health-enhancing properties and taste, we ferment our miso following
the rhythms of nature. This means that we do not use any form of temperature control, processing at high temperatures or alcohol in the fermentation process.

The power of koji
Koji, Japan’s national fungus is a special edible mould and known as the king of Eastern microorganisms.
Koji serves as a basic ingredient in ferments. It is the flavour source of Japanese cuisine and has been used in Japanese cooking for centuries to make everything from miso to soy sauce, and sake to mirin.
Koji breaks down and absorbs fat. By breaking down starch into glucose and protein into amino acids it creates the highly sought umami flavour.
