1 Year Miso


All South River products are certified organic by Quality Assurance International


You can enjoy the brightness of spring in any season when using our one-year miso. Sweeter in taste than the hearty varieties, light miso is fresh and lively, and comes in happy, sunlit colors. It is rich in amylase digestive enzymes, and brings a transformative touch to sauces, spreads, seasonings, salad dressings, soups, and breakfast porridge. The best choice when introducing friends to miso for the first time, it is also a favorite with children. Aged in wooden vats for a minimum of three months, but usually for six months to one year, the salt content ranges from 5 to 7 percent.


With deepest gratitude, I thank you for your work and your love for what is important in life. Your miso travels several days to reach us here. I delight in your miso each day... spring nettles, summer salads, fall soups, winter stews ... Yum! ... I am full of thanks at every meal. Blessings to you all!

Your miso is magnificent. To do it justice there are no words. Please send recipes; I have been eating it out of the jar with a spoon. Thank You,

Over the years, this has been a favorite variety for a number of holistic health institutes such as the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York. Made with brown rice and soybeans.

Chick Pea Miso

This is our family favorite for a versatile light miso. It has characteristics similar to Sweet Tasting Brown Rice; only, it is made with the sumptuous chick pea instead of soybeans. We are always remarking about the wonderful, sweet flavor this miso brings to our table. Made with brown rice and chick peas.
