Great Eastern Sun’s products are naturally fermented and unpasteurized, making them a great choice for consumers looking for traditional soy foods.

Great Eastern Sun shared its sourcing information; they purchase American-grown organic soybeans directly from a family farm.

They write:

“In the rolling hills of western North Carolina, Great Eastern Sun and the American Miso Company continue a timeless centuries-old tradition of hand crafted miso, under the Miso Master brand. Miso Master Organic Miso is made using only the finest ingredients: Organic whole grains and beans, organic koji, pure Blue Ridge Mountain well water, and imported, traditionally processed, sun-dried sea salt. Gently aged, naturally fermented, and unpasteurized, it is a living food, rich in high quality soy protein, beneficial enzymes, and Lactobacillus bacteria. Compare Miso Master flavor to any of our competitor' products and you'll see what a difference our unrelenting commitment to quality makes.  The American Miso Company is today the largest organic miso factory in the world under the leadership of Yoshihiro “Joe” Kato, miso master and master chef, who has been part of the team for almost 20 years.
