Barley Miso, Organic Barley Miso

Barley miso (mugi miso) is a traditional type of miso made from soybeans, barley koji (koji is made by using cooked grains that have been inoculated with a fermentation culture; Aspergillus oryzae), and salt. Barley miso is typically darker red in color and heartier in texture than a white or brown rice miso.  The chunkier texture and hearty taste gave barley miso the nickname "country miso" - hence our barley miso is called Country Barley Organic Miso in honor of this deeply savory miso paste variety. Country Barley miso is NOT GLUTEN FREE. * Note: Our Organic Country Barley Miso aging time has changed from 24 months to 12 months. Due to this change you may experience a slight variation in color and flavor from previous orders.
