Ever since Japan’s Edo period (1600 to 1867 BC),
Miso has been known to be both healthy and flavorful,
and it has been loved for generations, since then.
Miso is made up of soybeans, rice or barley and salt.
Miso itself is made through the process
of fermentation or letting the ingredients sit through
for a set period of time.Originating from China,
it traveled to Japan roughly in the 9th century
and became what we know as Miso today.
Throughout the long history of Japan,
Miso has been known as a great source of protein
and has been loved as soups and other side dishes
throughout the ages.
