NEW FROM THE “CRAFT MISO” RANGE
“CRAFT MISO TOROMI” MISO IN A BOTTLE!

Hikari Miso Co., Ltd. announces the launch of “CRAFT MISO TOROMI”, an easy-pour miso in a bottle, an addition to the “CRAFT MISO” range that offers a new style of miso.  “CRAFT MISO TOROMI” will be available from March 1, 2026, at supermarkets and other retail outlets throughout Japan.

The Japanese term toromi describes a thick, fluid substance, and “CRAFT MISO TOROMI” consists of our usual premium-quality miso delivered as a smooth, easy-pour liquid. “CRAFT MISO TOROMI” can be poured directly from the bottle with one hand, rather than scooped out with a spoon in the manner of conventional miso, making meal preparation easier, and placing the versatile magic of miso truly at your fingertips.

■ “CRAFT MISO TOROMI” FEATURES

Made by taking our usual miso paste and employing fermentation technology to achieve a softer, pourable consistency, “CRAFT MISO TOROMI” is a new liquid miso ready to enjoy straight from the bottle in a wide range of dishes, including as a dressing for salads and western-style food.

Handy miso pours straight from the bottle

While ordinary fresh miso must be scooped from the container with a spoon or ladle and dissolved in water for use, “CRAFT MISO TOROMI” can be poured straight from the bottle to a frypan one-handed while cooking, or drizzled over food before serving, making it easier to prepare and enjoy miso-based dishes.

Authentic miso flavor makes a versatile addition to virtually any dish

“CRAFT MISO TOROMI” delivers authentic miso flavor without the addition of dashi stock, making it ideal for all kinds of cooking, including as a dressing for western-style dishes and salads, and in Chinese cuisine. Apart from its obvious applications as a condiment in sauteed and stewed dishes, “CRAFT MISO TOROMI” can be used to make a basic miso soup by simply dissolving it in boiling water and adding katsuobushi (bonito flakes). This rich, full-bodied liquid miso also makes an ideal alternative to soy sauce for drizzling over sashimi or tofu.

■ THE “COZY AND KOJI” BLENDING PROCESS

A process exclusive to Hikari Miso, “Cozy and Koji” blending is the product of exhaustive experimentation by a team of our veteran miso-makers determined to achieve optimal blending and temperature control. The “Cozy and Koji” process is used for products in the “CRAFT MISO” range, miso-makers devoting considerable time and care to maximize sweetness and flavor. The addition of a generous quantity of “Cozy koji” malted rice, combined with lengthy maturation, gives “CRAFT MISO TOROMI” its full-bodied taste and luxurious pouring consistency, and the perfect balance of sweet and umami elements.
