naturally fermented, raw, gluten-free, vegan, handmade in Berlin Our organic Genmai Miso, made from germinated wholegrain rice and with a high proportion of soybeans, impresses with its intense, hearty taste and meaty spiciness. During maturation in red wine barriques, its powerful umami and its flavor complexity unfold with pronounced malt and roasted aromas, which are accompanied by subtle notes of black olives and fine acidity. The long fermentation of two years and the wholegrain rice give the Genmai Miso its characteristic dark brown tone. How to useGenmai Miso is suitable as a seasoning for savory dishes and sauces. It gives them an intense umami note and rich depth of flavor. In traditional Japanese cuisine, Genmai Miso is often used as a base for hearty soups and stews, especially spicy miso soups. You can also use it to make a delicious ramen broth. This rice miso harmonises well with hearty wok pans and goes well with roasted or braised vegetables. Used sparingly as a marinade, it emphasises the roasted flavours of roast vegetables, leg of lamb or roasts. As a complement to our Genmai Miso, we recommend our Hon Mirin. In combination with the sweet rice liquor, a wide range of culinary possibilities open up to refine and enrich meals. BackgroundOriginally, miso was an exclusive dish reserved only for the aristocracy. Today, miso is an indispensable part of the Japanese diet, but this change only began about 800 years ago. At that time, the warriors' diet was established under the name 'ichijuu-issai', a meal consisting of a bowl of soup and a side dish. The consumption of miso in the form of miso shiru (miso soup) became widespread. 600 years ago, the home production of miso become popular among the general population. It was only 300 years ago that the industrial production of miso began. We maintain the tradition of artisanal production, which makes our miso particularly healthy. Our miso made from wholegrain rice is extremely rich in nutrients and fiber. Genmai miso is also rich in antioxidants, probiotic bacteria and enzymes that promote digestion and intestinal activity. Thanks to its high soybean content, it contains a particularly high number of amino acids and vitamins. These include the amino acid GABA, which acts as a neurotransmitter in the body and can have a calming effect on the nervous system. Ingredients
