Naturally Sweet Flavor Born from Extra Kōji
Tsurumiso is a miso producer from Yanagawa, Fukuoka, founded in 1870.
For over 150 years, they’ve used the region’s rich farmland and canal network to craft their signature
miso.
Their standout point? The amount of kōji (fermentation starter made by growing a special mold on
grains).
They use about twice as much rice and barley kōji as standard miso, creating a naturally sweet, mild
flavor.
Low in salt and easy to enjoy, it’s made to fit modern tastes without losing its roots.
Even today, their Meiji-era red-brick warehouses are still used to age miso—connecting every batch to the past.
A Miso for Every Table: Additive-Free and Full of Character
Tsurumiso offers a diverse range of miso crafted with care and precision.
Their award-winning Additive-Free Blended Miso is made from Japanese soybeans, rice, and barley.
Naturally aged, it brings deep umami and balance to everyday meals.
The “Five-Grain Miso” blends soybeans, rice, barley, millet, and foxtail millet for a bold, earthy flavor
packed with nutrition.
For those who love barley miso, their Additive-Free Barley Miso delivers a rich taste and a mellow aroma from long-aged barley kōji.
Their Additive-Free Rice Miso offers gentle sweetness and low fat—perfect for health-conscious kitchens.
