There are many miso breweries that have a history of over 100 years and continue to maintain traditional manufacturing methods and fermentation techniques. Just like sake, wine, and craft beer, a wide variety of miso with different tastes, colors, and aromas are produced in miso breweries across the country. However, the domestic miso market is shrinking year by year, and miso breweries are closing down one after another. It is said that more than 400 miso breweries have closed down in the last 35 years in Japan.

Many of us are alumni of miso breweries, and because of these connections we have actually visited miso breweries all over Japan. I was amazed by the traditional manufacturing methods and long history, such as the raw miso manufacturing method that does not involve heat sterilization, the natural brewing that ferments in the natural climate, and the wooden barrel fermentation method that has been passed down from generation to generation. As a cultural asset that should be protected, I felt that I needed to do something about this situation. On the other hand, the market for miso is shrinking, but not only does it contain 40 types of nutrients, but it is also a fermented food, so it has been attracting attention in recent years as a superfood that goes beyond being a seasoning. In recent years, various papers and research results have been published regarding the functionality of miso, and it has become scientifically clear that miso is good for the body. Through the diversity and functionality of miso, we may be able to once again revitalize Japan’s miso industry while contributing to extending healthy lifespans around the world. We have proceeded with development with this in mind. Through MISOBOX, we hope to provide a new miso soup experience that lets you enjoy the diversity of miso from all over Japan and improve your nutritional status with miso soup.
