Tsumari Chamame Miso
■ Background
'Tsumari Chamame' is a type of chamame (a variety of edamame) that has been recognized as the best in Japan twice at the National Edamame Championship.
Until now, in addition to selling it fresh to deliver its just-harvested freshness, we have also developed frozen products that allow customers to enjoy its seasonal taste year-round by utilizing freezing technology.
However, due to weather and harvest conditions, it is sometimes difficult to deliver all agricultural products in their optimal fresh state.
'Tsumari Chamame Miso' was developed by focusing on the method of fermentation as an initiative to utilize its value in a new form.

■ Product Overview (Tsumari Chamame Miso)
A flavor born from ingredients nurtured in the Niigata climate and the passage of time.
'Tsumari Chamame Miso' is a miso fermented over 11 months, combining the nationally acclaimed chamame, Uonuma-grown Koshihikari rice, and the environment of a Niigata storehouse.
We have pursued its perfection not merely as a seasoning, but also in its role as a foundation for dishes and, at times, as a 'background' that enhances the main ingredients.
