MISO SWISS MADE
by SWISSMISO / Japanese Food for GOOD Sàrl, Azusa, and Théana
First Miso Producer in Swiss Romande area
Hi, I’m Azusa, the founder of SWISSMISO. I’ve been living in Switzerland for more than 10 years. I discovered a fascination with Japanese cuisine outside Japan.
Japanese food is not only healthy and tasty but moreover, its philosophy is tied to the ecological approach. Local, seasonal ingredients are valued, recipes without wasting food are appreciated. As a Japanese, I’ve decided to carry on this culinary culture. That’s the reason why I created my small company!
We initiated this project as a way to bring consciousness to environmental issues. We couldn’t be happier, if the project inspires you to act something good for our land!
What is Miso ? Miso is a fermented soybean paste in Japan. It’s a key ingredient for making delicious Japanese dishes such as miso-soup. It’s used both in traditional and modern ways in Japan and has been gaining worldwide interest.
Based on Miso Paste, our popular product Miso-truffle (Instant homemade miso-soup) makes it easier to incorporate miso into your daily life!
