Ingredients:









 The variety of color, flavor and texture you'll


 find in EDEN Misos is a reflection of the


 ingredients and climate in which they were


 made. Whole beans and grains are cleaned,


 steamed, inoculated with koji (Aspergillus


 oryzae), which is also used in the production of


 shoyu, tamari and rice vinegar) and mixed with


 sea salt, then aged in wooden kegs weighted


 with stones to allow time, temperature and


 climate to create a uniquelY satisfying food.


 


 Hacho Miso              Soybean


 ================================================


 Hacho Miso is dark and rich. It is aged a full 3


 years. Use it alone when an intense flavor is


 desired, or use mixed half-and-half with any


 other Miso for soups, dressings or marinade.


 Mugi Miso                Barley


 ================================================


 Mugi Miso is made with soYbeans and barley


 koji. It matures in 1-2 years, and has a milder


 aroma than Hacho Miso. It is perhaps the


 most universally appealing of all the misos,


 suitable for summer or winter cooking.


 


 Kome Miso                Rice


 ================================================


 Kome Miso is made with soybeans and rice


 koji, and is the sweetest of the Misos. There


 are many variations, including Shiro (Sweet


 White) Miso and Genmai (Brown Rice) 1Miso.


 


 Shiro Miso               Sweet Rice


 ================================================


 Shiro Miso, sometimes called "white miso", is


 the "youngest" Miso (made in just 40 days).


 Like Kome Miso it has a light, sweet taste,


 suitable for use in a wide variety of dishes.


 


 Genmai Miso               Brown Rice


 ================================================


 Genmai Miso is made with brown rice koji.


 As contradictory as it may seem, this is a new


 and not a traditional food. Prompted by many


 requests, a method was developed for making


 koji from whole brown rice. The result is a


 delightfully rich miso with a light flavor.


 Soba Miso                 Buckwheat


 ================================================


 Soba Miso, made with buckwheat and soybeans, is a hearty variety that


 tastes especially good in cold weather.
