Miso is one of the traditional seasonings that represents Japan, but despite its long history, many people don’t realize just how many different ways it can be used. Shichifuku-miso was produced to enable more people both in Japan and abroad to easily incorporate miso into various dishes. Seven ingredients – apple, onion, ginger, garlic, sesame, goji berry and walnut (red pepper for the spicy version) – are mixed into Shinshu miso, a renowned fermented food of Nagano Prefecture, to achieve a deep, rich taste. It is a very versatile product that can be enjoyed on its own as deli miso, or as a seasoning when cooking Japanese, Chinese or Western style dishes. In addition, the unique blend achieved through trial and error offers a superb usability that guarantees best-before dates for approximately one year, without the use of artificial flavorings or preservatives. Shichifuku-miso is a new type of miso with great potential for enriching the daily diets of people around the globe.
