Characterized by a striking golden yellow color, Shinshu (Nagano) miso is a salty miso that
combines a refreshing umami with a rich aroma. Nagano Prefecture, where it’s produced, is dotted with 100 distinctive breweries. In Japan, it’s rare to find so many breweries in every part of a prefecture, and the individual breweries engage in friendly rivalry as they make the most of their local climate and culture to brew the miso they seek.

The purpose of the “Shinshu Miso Tour” is to give a deeper understanding of Shinshu miso through the informative website operated by the Nagano Prefectural Federation of Miso Manufacturers Cooperatives. They provide information on Shinshu miso and respective miso breweries in the prefecture, feature delicious miso recipes that will serve you in daily life, and never fail to share the charms of Shinshu miso.
