🌿 Wholegrain Koji & Slow Fermentation

The brown rice koji is combined with naturally farmed whole soybeans and sun-dried crystal salt, then slowly fermented in a Yoshino cedar vat.

Yoshino cedar, known for its fine grain and durability, has long been used in traditional Japanese sake barrels. Wooden-vat fermentation gives the miso a rounded depth, while Binchotan charcoal maturation helps create a clean and balanced finish.

About “500-Year Spring”

The name “500-Year Spring” comes from a passage by the ancient philosopher Zhuangzi, describing a great tree for which five hundred years pass as a single spring.

It reflects Marumi Koji Honten’s wish for healthy longevity and a life lived in harmony with nature.
