Hulled soybeans from Tochigi Prefecture are steamed until plump and tender, then fermented with rice koji. The result is an amber-colored miso with a mellow aroma and deep, complex umami, thanks to its abundance of amino acids developed during long-term aging. Its rich flavor makes it ideal not only for miso soup, but also for dishes like miso-braised mackerel, morokyu (cucumber with miso dip), and rice balls (onigiri). The Gokujo series is a premium miso proudly crafted by Aogen, a miso brewery with over 400 years of history. (Unpasteurized product)

This miso contains no added alcohol, allowing its natural microorganisms and enzymes to remain active. It is delivered in a deliciously fermented and matured state, but over time — even when stored at room temperature or in a regular refrigerator — it will continue to mature due to the ongoing activity of these microorganisms and enzymes.

We encourage you to enjoy the evolving flavors as it continues to ferment, but if you prefer to preserve your favorite stage of flavor, we recommend storing it in the freezer.
