I had the opportunity to sample this wonderful miso at the beginning of my Fall2023 trip. It was good yet I did not realize that it was exceptional. After four more weeks in Japan no other miso compared to the outstanding flavor of the Hita miso. I had to have some and I intend on purchasing a regular supply. It is that good.
