Located in Yanagawa, in the Fukuoka region, Tsurumiso is an iconic family business of artisanal miso production. Since its created in 1870, the house relies on know-how passed down from generation to generation, using quality local ingredients (rice, barley, soybeans and pure Yanagawa water). The name Tsurumiso is inspired by the Japanese expression“Tsuru wa sennen, kame wa mannen”(“The crane lives a thousand years, the tortoise ten thousand years”), a symbol of longevity and continuity that perfectly reflects the company’s philosophy: to offer a simple, safe miso, faithful to the traditional Japanese taste. Anchored in its territory, Tsurumiso produces a wide range of miso, the majority of which is made from a blend of rice and barley koji, for a subtle balance between sweetness and intensity. It also offers miso-based sauces and condiments, adapted to today's tastes. All of this is made without unnecessary additives, respecting the fermentation time and artisanal gestures.
