01 / The fruit story behind the miso
It started with a remarkable apple.
In Aomori, Akinori Kimura spent years pursuing what was considered difficult: growing apples without pesticides. His success became known as the story of Japan’s “Miracle Apples”.
Inspired by his approach, farmers learned from Kimura and carried his natural farming methods into rice and soybean cultivation. Their harvests became the ingredients for Kiseki Miso.
A shared farming philosophy connects the apples and the miso. The miso itself is made with rice, soybeans and salt.
02 / Nature at the source
Grown with the strength of the earth.
The Asahi rice from Okayama and Japanese soybeans are naturally farmed without pesticides, chemical fertilisers or organic fertilisers. This approach draws on the soil’s inherent strength to nurture the crops.
Rice. Soybeans. Salt. A simple ingredient list, with care behind every harvest—giving you more confidence in what you bring to your family’s table.
