Gozen miso is the rice miso of Tokushima. It uses about 1.4 times as much rice as soybeans, keeps the rice koji whole so it floats, and has about 12 % salt. Factory miso ripens warm for 40–50 days and then rests cool for about 60 days.

Recipe
Amounts from a sourceThe old household recipe by volume, pieced together from elders' accounts by Fukunaga 1974. It was packed in the coldest season and ripe in about 300 days. Today's factory standard is koji at 14 bu and 12 % salt.

Moulds
The koji is grown dry, with the mould deep in each grain, so the grains stay whole and float in the finished miso. Output: whole-grain rice koji.

At a glance
Gozen miso is the rice miso of Tokushima. It uses about 1.4 times as much rice as soybeans, keeps the rice koji whole so it floats, and has about 12 % salt. Factory miso ripens warm for 40–50 days and then rests cool for about 60 days. Made in 5 steps over 3.3 months – 3.6 months. The longest step, cool conditioning, takes 2 months (Fukunaga Y. (Tokushima Prefectural Industrial…). Salt is 11–13 % (Fukunaga Y. (Tokushima Prefectural Industrial…). Koji mould on the rice does most of the fermenting.
Gozen miso uses far more koji (14 bu) than salty red miso, so it is sweeter, yet its 12 % salt is close to salty miso. Like Echigo miso it keeps the koji grains whole and floating.

Old household Gozen misoThe mashed beans and koji were aired overnight, shaped into handful-sized balls and aired about 100 days, then chopped, pounded, packed into small vats under paper and ripened about 300 days [FUKUNAGA-1974].
Safety
The Aichi sheet says miso at about 12 % salt holds enough salt to stop unwanted microbes, which lets it ripen for a long time; Gozen miso has about 12 % salt. The GI specification says ripening runs faster in hot summer weather, so some makers ship earlier than usual after weighing changes in taste and colour. The sources set no numerical safety limit.
The name is said to come from the miso served at the table (gozen) of the Hachisuka lords of Awa after 1587. The prefectural industrial test station set working standards in 1963–1966, and the makers' cooperative registered "Gozen" as a trademark in 1966 [FUKUNAGA-1974]. The GI specification adds that a new yeast developed in 1968 by the Tokushima Prefectural Industrial Test Station shortened ripening, and Gozen miso was entered in the national register of geographical indications as No. 167 on 18 March 2025 [MAFF-GI-167].
