Clearspring Organic Japanese Barley Miso

Clearspring Organic Japanese Barley Miso, also known as Mugi Miso, is a traditional fermented staple produced in Japan. This product is crafted using age-old methods, typically involving the fermentation of whole soya beans and barley with a koji culture. The brand ensures authenticity by working with artisanal family producers in Japan, some of whom have been perfecting their craft for over a century. The miso is often aged in cedarwood kegs for one to two years to develop its deep, rich umami flavor.

The brand was founded in 1993 by Christopher Dawson, who spent nearly two decades in Japan converting local farmers and artisan producers to organic practices. Today, Clearspring remains an independent family-owned business headquartered in London, United Kingdom. It is committed to promoting organic, plant-based diets and sustainable agriculture while preserving traditional food craftsmanship from both Japan and Europe.
