Love Letters

I have been using your miso for about a month and it is absolutely fabulous. I am an acupuncturist/herbalist in Los Angeles and I am so excited to have found South River Miso. I will be recommending it to all my patients.

I am impressed with your miso. With every other brand I’ve ever tried, the dominant taste to me is salt. Your miso has a subtle symphony of flavors. The difference between yours and other brands is the difference between mass-produced store bought bread and bread made at home with love and freshly milled flour. Bravo!

A friend of mine gave me four jars of your wonderful miso, and as a result I cannot be happy with any other miso.

Yours is the best tamari I’ve ever tasted; and the miso is probably the best in the world —truly la crème de la crème.

…I swear to all the gods of Yin and Yang, to George Ohsawa’s memory, to the spirits of the Native Americans who lived here before us, and to the Rice Spirit that looks over us that the miso soup that I had this morning was SINGING. It was half way between a buzz and a hum, with a little bit of a crackle for some harmony. I swirled it around for a few seconds thinking maybe that it was some freak temporary phenomenon, and it kept singing! Eventually I drank it, and…well, maybe it kept singing inside my stomach.

Thanks for offering an incredibly high quality product! I tell everyone that South River is the HIGHEST quality miso available! Your fermented porridge recipe has helped me greatly! I use it to ferment amaranth seed – this gets very watery so I mix in buckwheat and/or whole oat groats or whole rye berries. I add a bunch of wild blueberries and have an excellent meal!

Thank you so much for your wonderful miso. I so much appreciate the care and integrity used in producing your fine product. I especially appreciate your use of glass instead of plastic. It really makes a huge difference regarding health issues as well as taste. It is a true gift to our health and homes.

Just had my first cup of South River Golden Millet Miso and I feel better than I have for a long time! …Thanks for the great variety of products.

Thank you very much for The Little Book of Miso Recipes. I love it! It’s very well done, very inspiring. I also discovered your Dandelion Leek Miso, the ultimate pleasure.
