Hatcho Miso 18 Months Matured, 400g

Hatcho Miso has an intense taste, more bitter than other types of miso with notes of coffee and cocoa. Hatcho Miso is a rare product that accounts for only 0.2% of miso production in Japan. Produced from 100% soy beans, these are selected and steamed before being refined for 18 months, pressed under several tons of rocks, to obtain a deep miso very rich in umami. The name of this particular miso comes from the area where it was produced in the 17th century: Hatcho, Aichi. Very thick and with high umami potential, Hatcho Miso brings a strong depth to long-simmered dishes such as boeuf bourguignon or coq au vin. Like other miso, it can be used as a seasoning instead of salt: for example in a red wine marinade or a vinaigrette. Hatcho miso also goes surprisingly well with chocolate and can be used in pastries, for brownies, madeleines, etc.

Ingredients: Soy beans (51.7%), water (36.91%), salt (10.86%), roasted barley powder (0.52%), koji (0.01%)
