Learn How to Make Miso Paste at Nagano City’s Premier Miso-Maker Suyakame.

Northern Nagano


Description

Nagano Prefecture is one of Japan's biggest growers of soybeans, so naturally the prefecture is home to more Miso makers than anywhere else in Japan. You've had miso soup and food flavored with miso paste -- have you wondered how miso is made? Come to Nagano and find out by making it yourself, at Nagano City's premier miso maker, Suyakame


Recommendation

Not far from the venerable Zenkoji Temple in Nagano City you'll find the historical miso factory, Suyakame. Their high quality miso has won numerous prestigious awards in Japan. Here you can learn how to make miso yourself. After taking a tour of the miso making facilities, participants will mix soybeans, salt and malted rice to make their own miso. Store it at room temperature for a minimum of 3 months and it will be ready to be made into miso soup.
