naturally fermented, raw, vegan, handmade in Berlin
Our organic Ama Mugi Miso develops a delicate sweetness during its twelve-month maturation and enchants with a malty, gentle scent and notes reminiscent of plums. Mugi means barley in Japanese and is a very popular grain in Japan. Unlike conventional Mugi Miso from Japan, our barley miso has a particularly high proportion of barley koji, which gives it an intense flavour. In contrast to our Ama Miso, it has a heartier taste and a fuller body.
Very low gluten content:
Although we use barley for this miso, the gluten content of this miso is very low. We have had the gluten content of our Ama Mugi miso tested in the laboratory - 80 mg per kilogram was still detected. This means that although this miso is not gluten-free, its gluten content is significantly lower than expected.
According to EC Regulation 41/2009, foods with a gluten content of 100 ppm or less may be labelled as ‘very low gluten content’ in the European Union.
