Chino, Nagano, Japan｜Marui-Ito Shoten

I visited an authentic miso shop on my trip to Nagano to let my child experience making miso. It is made in the factory at the back of the shop. When you step inside, you will be filled with the aroma of miso and will be healed. After watching the video for about 10 minutes, my elementary school-age son was taught by a cheerful staff member and seemed to be having fun trying it out. I think it's good for children to actually make it themselves so they can learn it as something they own, not just as a seasoning. The miso you make will be aged at home. I'm looking forward to completion You can also take a tour of the factory, and there is a Shinto shrine in the back. It was an interesting spot that you can enjoy for a short time thanks to the ingenuity. The shop is also a small manufacturer, so they only carry genuine products. I will go again.

The miso soup made with the miso here is so delicious that I decided to make it! However, there are so many types of miso that I don't know which one is my favorite. You won't know which miso you like unless you buy them all💦This is a company with strong development capabilities. I'm looking forward to new products. The only ramen that won't upset your stomach is the miso ramen here. Commercially available instant ramen always makes me hungry. It probably doesn't have many additives. I feel the horror of commercially available products bought at the supermarket. After eating miso, I can see that my body is happy. I just can't explain this.

I wanted to try my hand at making miso, so I visited. In the case of individuals, it is okay to make a reservation on the day. After watching a video on how miso is made, the miso making experience begins. Mix salt and koji, add boiled and mashed soybeans, and knead. You can take home 2 kilos of miso per person. It's 1,460 yen including the container, so it's quite reasonable! ! I just kneaded it all the time, but it was surprisingly fun. I'm looking forward to fermenting and aging at home and eating it. The store sells not only miso, but also various fermented foods such as amazake and shio koji. I bought Kinzanji miso, but it's the best when you eat it with cucumber! I also bought the Yatsugatake Kamoka Pudding, and the egg flavor was rich and delicious. All products are reasonably priced, so I thought it would be good for souvenirs. P.S. The miso from the miso-making experience had aged for half a year and was ready to eat, so I immediately tried making miso soup. It's so delicious! I was deeply moved that handmade miso is so delicious. When I asked my friends who went with me, they said it was really delicious and I want to go make miso again! It said. If I ever go to Suwa, I will go to miso making again.
