MISO takumi

125G TAKUMI MISO 36 months barrel aged

 8,00

This is a miso made of patience,
of wood,
and of know-how.

It begins with the traditional method
of kome miso (米味噌) —
rice, soy, and koji.

But here, time plays a larger part.
It rests for more than 36 months
in oak barrels that once held wine,
where slowness becomes richness.

In Japan,
artisans reused sake barrels to age their miso,
drawing on the precious yeasts
absorbed into the wood.

At nuu,
we keep this tradition alive
with European oak barrels,
which bring depth,
woody notes,
and an oxidative complexity all their own.

The result:
a dense, almost caramelised texture,
a remarkable length on the palate,
and a balanced, powerful umami.

This is a miso made for gastronomy —
to be used with precision,
like a great condiment.

Rice*, soybeans*, salt (10%), koji (Aspergillus oryzae)
*From organic farming

Soy

*May contain traces of sesame and wheat.

Perfect for enriching a clear broth, a butter-miso sauce, a purée of root vegetables — or for serving alongside a mature cheese.

Keep cool.
Always use clean utensils — a clean spoon, a clean rim — each time you serve.
After opening, keep refrigerated.

Yes. A little liquid — similar to tamari — can appear in the jar over time. It is perfectly fine. Simply stir it back through before using.

Not at all. This is simply down to how we make it — our miso is not retort-sterilised, so you won't hear the pop you might expect from some jarred foods. It is completely normal.

However you like. In Japan, miso is enjoyed many ways: fresh and unheated for its lively flavour, or deliberately caught a little on the heat, where it caramelises into something deeper. There is no single right way — let your cooking decide.

Yes. All of our miso is vegan, made entirely from plants, and gluten-free. If you are sensitive to any allergen, please read the allergy information on each product.
