Iwao Green Chili Miso

Crafted along the shores of Lake Kannako in Gunma Prefecture, this miso paste brings a cherished family recipe to life, made with care over generations. Originally created by our grandmother and mother, it became popular with our guests, inspiring us to share it more widely.

This unique paste is made with Shinshu Sanada miso, aged naturally for one year without additives, pure junmai ginjo sake "Iwao" and its sake lees, and locally grown fresh green chilies. The addition of sake gives it a smooth texture, while the sake lees add rich depth. Naturally sweetened and free from additives, this miso paste is ideal for those seeking a fermented, detox-friendly food.

Serving Suggestions:
Perfect as a topping for breakfast rice, a dressing for salads, or an accompaniment to snacks and drinks. Try it on grilled meats, with tofu, or as a spicy mayo mix for a delightful flavor boost. Enjoy this traditional, handcrafted taste in every meal!
