Have you ever wondered what exactly Miso is? Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning, in paste form, that has been an essential part of the Japanese diet since the 8th century. It is made by a double fermentation process from very simple ingredients: soybeans, salt and culture (Koji). However, each part of Japan has its own special Miso, and there are over 1,000 different varieties.
It is a shame to see that Miso is mainly known and used just for Miso soup in Australia. Miso actually performs a very versatile role in Japanese cooking. As a seasoning similar to soy sauce, Miso gives dishes an incredible flavour boost when it is properly used.
Sasakani Kobo is a very small artisan producer of Miso and related products. We are focusing just as much on teaching people how to use miso, through workshops and individual classes, as on the actual production of products. We would like everyone to make their own Miso, but for those that can't find the time, we want to provide Miso as good as if you'd made it yourself, with a focus on quality, flavour, traditional techniques, organic ingredients, healthy living and local food production. Good Miso takes time, but its absolutely worth it, and there is so much else to learn along the way.
We are located in Brisbane, Australia. Miso Club started in December 2012, and Sasakani Kobo started trading in December 2014.

Sasakani Kobo focuses on promoting the use of Miso in peoples day to day cooking, and making delicious, healthy, and ethical organic Miso from locally grown ingredients.
Most of the factory made Miso (including organic one) available in Australia is imported from Japan, and these Miso are usually pasteurised. However, we can show you how to make home-made Miso from local organic ingredients in a traditional slow process, and unpasteurised to maximize its flavour and nutritional benefits.
Unpasteurised Miso has some incredible health benefits, providing nutrition such as protein, Vitamins, Calcium, Potassium, and active enzymes, as well as a distinctive flavour.

2015: Sasakani Kobo - Open for business! |
| Posted by Sasakani Kobo Jan 25th 2015

It has been a lot of work, but we can happily announce that on the 17th December 2014 Sasakani Kobo officially commenced, with the issuing of our food licence from the Brisbane City Council, and arrangements with Wandering Cooks for our Commercial Kitchen!! Yay!! We were thrilled to receive a 5 Star Food Safety Rating , and are very much looking forward to getting our commercial operations underway. A huge thank you to Wandering Cooks for making it all possible!
So now the hard work really starts with initial production runs and all the effort that goes with actually doing it! It will take some time to get everything established, but we are away! Our focus initially will be on some products that we can bring to market quickly, whilst we work on the longer term products. We can take orders now for commercial miso production for cafes and restaurants with the understanding there will be a time delay for some products. But, no point rushing a good thing, and that is what we do, the best traditional miso we believe you will taste in Australia, and the most delicious miso related products!
We are a very, very small artisan producer, so supply will be very limited, but if you are interested in quality over quantity, you have come to the right place. :-)
Miso Club:
We will continue Miso Club as a separate entity, with the focus on learning how to use miso, and how to make it yourself at home. Every year, we run Miso making workshops between April and September as these cooler months are the best season for miso making. So, we will re-start miso making demonstrations and club activities from around April 2015. Thanks to everyone for being patient while we got everything else sorted out. You will be able to get all the latest on the new Facebook site we have created for the Miso Club , which is the best place to go for club info.
