Our Shiro Miso has a best-before date of nine months from bottling.

Our Genmai Miso has a best-before date of 12 months from bottling.

Please note, however, that we cannot guarantee that the product will be bottled immediately before shipping. Since we do not bottle every product fresh daily, the remaining shelf life upon receipt may be significantly shorter.

Nevertheless, our products are generally enjoyable far beyond the stated date. Therefore, please do not dispose of them prematurely. The best-before date refers not only to edibility but also to sensory properties such as color, texture, or taste. Our products usually become somewhat more intense in flavor and darker in color over time.

To best preserve the light color and mild aroma of our Shiro Miso, we recommend storing it in the refrigerator. Cooling also prevents pressure build-up in the jar.
