Food wholesaler’s production

Step inside a miso maker’s world.

A creator’s factory visit offers another way to explore miso, with the publisher’s commercial role in view.

Production, then a tasting.

UMAMI of JAPAN’s 2021 episode visits Tsurumiso in Yanagawa, Fukuoka. Its published chapters move from ingredients into the factory, then to the presenter trying the featured miso. This is the creator’s experience at that producer, not a WeirdEats tasting.

Know who is telling the story.

Aussie Foods identifies UMAMI of JAPAN as its own project and introduces presenter Micaela. The company describes a food-wholesaling business that promotes producers and their work. We therefore label the film as a wholesaler’s production; episode-specific payment or sample terms are not established.

Another visit, with a readable transcript.

PBS lists closed captions and a transcript for its 2012 Miso episode of Visiting with Huell Howser. The program visits Miyako Oriental Foods, a different producer. Open the PBS source below for that historical film and its text alternative; neither visit identifies the maker of our current Kokoro selection.
