Brewing process

Miso is a seasoning paste that is very important in traditional Japanese cuisine. It is traditionally made from soybeans and rice or barley. As with soy sauce, the first step in fermentation involves fermentation with the noble mold Aspergillus Oryzae and grain. In the second step, a paste is made from the fermented grain along with cooked soybeans and salt. This paste matures for several months and develops the classic savory umami taste before it is packaged.

In addition to water and salt, miso pastes require two other ingredients in the classic production method. On the one hand, a source of protein such as legumes (soybeans, lentils, peas, chickpeas, lupine, etc.) or press cakes from oil production, which are also very high in protein such as pumpkin seed protein, poppy seed protein, etc. and on the other hand, a source of carbohydrates such as grains (rice, barley , wheat) or pseudo cereals such as buckwheat, amaranth and quinoa. Due to this large number of possible combinations, there are also many different misos. The taste can also be greatly influenced by the length of maturation.

The areas of application of miso are very wide. The pleasant umami taste is almost always a welcome guest. In addition to the well-known miso soup, it can also be used to marinate meat or season a stew.

The art of miso production and its culinary diversity

Story

One of Japan's oldest culinary traditions, miso has a fascinating history dating back to ancient times. This rich history is detailed in books such as The Book of Miso: Savory Fermented Soy Seasoning. The art of making miso is closely linked to Japanese culture and its love of fermentation. Over the centuries, miso has evolved from a simple condiment into a culinary treasure that is conquering the world.

Making miso

In works like the “Noma Handbook Fermentation” we learn that making miso is an art form in itself. This begins with the careful selection of legumes such as soy, beans and others, combined with grains such as rice or barley. The process is similar to that of seasoning sauces, with koji being made in the first step. Grain is soaked, steamed and inoculated with the noble mold Aspergillus Orycae and fermented into a compact koji cake after 48 hours. In the second step, this koji is mixed with salt and the cooked legumes, traditionally soy, and placed in a tank to ripen. This is where the magic of fermentation unfolds thanks to the enzymes in the koji, and after a certain amount of time the delicious miso is created.

Applications

Miso is not just a seasoning paste, but a culinary all-rounder. From traditional miso soups to innovative marinades and dressings - the creative use of miso has no limits. A variety of cookbooks not only offer insights into the traditional use of miso, but also
also encourage you to push culinary boundaries and try miso in new and exciting recipes.
