Making Miso (Japanese special seasoning)

Have you ever tasted 'Miso Soup' ?
You can surely find this menu in Sushi or Japanese restaurants.

Now, let's try to make 'Miso' by ourselves.
Easy but it takes much time. Let's enjoy!

Soy beans kept in the water for 1 night for softening

Prepare soy beans and boil
until you can easily crush them by your fingers!

Mash the soften beans till the paste!

Mix well mashed beans and Kouji (molted rice) and sea-salt.
Lastly, for escaping mold, put sea-salt on the top.

This working, you have to do during the cold winter.

And...you have to wait more than half a year for ferment over hot summer.
In August (Mid summer in Japan), open the lid!

White one is mold

Woh! Good condition!
Remove the white mold carefully and mix well again.
And close the lid again and keep it until the new winter coming!
