Etchū miso is the rice-koji miso of Toyama. Boiled, mashed soybeans are mixed with plenty of rice koji and salt, packed into wooden tubs that are only lidded, not weighted, and aged six months to a year. The result is moist, rather salty and high in koji, and it dissolves quickly in soup.

Amounts from a sourceThe usual proportions of Toyama farm home miso surveyed from 1955; the survey found this formula too salty and low in protein, and recommended a less salty, karakuchi-style formula.

Etchū miso is the rice-koji miso of Toyama. Boiled, mashed soybeans are mixed with plenty of rice koji and salt, packed into wooden tubs that are only lidded, not weighted, and aged six months to a year. The result is moist, rather salty and high in koji, and it dissolves quickly in soup. Made in 5 steps over 6.1 months – 12 months. The longest step, age, takes 6–12 months (MAFF). Koji mould, sprinkled on cooled steamed rice to make rice koji does most of the fermenting.
Etchū miso is lidded but not weighted, so it stays moist, and it uses more koji than most salty rice misos. The Aichi type table gives salty light-coloured rice miso, the class that includes Hokuriku miso, a koji ratio of 5–10 and 11–13 % salt [aichi-itc].
Toyama once had many koji shops where households had their miso made. As home miso making declined, the koji shops became miso makers. The prefectural soy sauce and miso co-operative was founded in 1947, and a koji-shop group won a MAFF food-culture award in 2013 [MAFF-TF-kome_kozi_miso]. A 1958 study of Toyama farm miso found it low in protein, high in salt and water, and slow to ripen [Kubota1958].
