米忠 Komechu Miso Brewery

Komechu Miso Brewery (米忠味噌本店) is a miso brewery in Osaka. We are producing miso of special quality, observing traditional method of fermentation. Our products have been widely used in traditional restaurants and prestigious hotels in Kansai area and throughout Japan.

■ Miso

Miso paste (味噌) is Japanese traditional seasoning made from fermented soybeans and other ingredients mashed into a thick paste. It has long been the main resource of protein and amino acid for Japanese people. Scientific studies have documented its many health benefits, such as reducing cancer and resisting radiation influence.

■ Komechu's miso

Each region in Japan has its own type of miso. Komechu's miso belongs to komemiso, or miso made from rice malt and soybeans. We use more rice than other komemiso breweries, reflecting the history of Osaka - the city had Japan's central rice market in the Edo period (17th - 19th century). This makes our miso sweet and mild, well matched with delicate taste of Kansai restaurant dishes.
