Namikura Aka Miso is a traditional red miso paste produced in Japan’s Nagano region, aged for a minimum of six months. Crafted in small batches, it follows a family recipe passed down through five generations.

With a higher ratio of soybeans to rice koji, this miso has a darker color, a pronounced umami flavor, and a rich, salty aroma. Thanks to its long, natural fermentation process, Aka Miso has a bold character and is ideal for preparing hearty dishes such as miso soup, marinated meats or fish, stews, and sauces.

Its texture is smooth and spreadable, while the flavor is complex and lingering. It contains no artificial additives or preservatives, and all ingredients are carefully selected and locally sourced.

Namikura Aka Miso is a favorite among chefs and lovers of Japanese cuisine around the world, bringing authentic flavor and quality directly from Japan.
