Spring Greetings from South River Miso
Best wishes and good health to you all! Maintaining our health and well-being is as important as ever, especially in the light of the past two challenging years globally.
Miso has a 1,300 year history in Japan and its origins go back even further to its beginnings in China. It was used by the samurai for its strengthening properties. For a lively, informative history of miso visit
misotasty.com
South River Miso is celebrating its 43rd season -
many years of crafting a handmade, all organic, high quality miso in small batches by a dedicated group of food makers in beautiful, rural western Massachusetts.
The grains and beans in our miso are cooked by wood fire. The miso is then aged in large wooden vats and each jar is handpacked with care. Many of the varieties we produce are made nowhere else in the world! The varieties unique to South River Miso are
Azuki Bean,
Hearty Brown Rice,
Dandelion Leek,
and
Garlic Red Pepper.
Stock up on our miso now directly from
our website, as we do not ship during warmer months. Check your local stores at that time as well for our miso.
We are wishing you a peaceful and healthy Spring and Summer!

Kimchi Salad with Azuki Bean Miso Dressing

@true.kimchi. A Korean woman-owned, authentic kimchi company,
True Kimchi handcrafts small batches of kimchi and other foods in the traditional way.
This salad is full of many fresh greens perfect for Spring and Summer,
radish kimchi, and finally topped with a local fried egg - yum! Inspired by her sharing, we've added our twist with a complementary salad dressing using our own
Azuki Bean miso.
