Sendai miso is the salty red rice miso of Miyagi. Soybeans are steamed deep, mixed with well-aged rice koji at a low koji ratio and plenty of salt, tamped hard into vats and turned several times over months of ripening. A cool post-ripening finishes it.

At a glance
Sendai miso is the salty red rice miso of Miyagi. Soybeans are steamed deep, mixed with well-aged rice koji at a low koji ratio and plenty of salt, tamped hard into vats and turned several times over months of ripening. A cool post-ripening finishes it. Made in 6 steps over 5.1 months. The longest step, ferment and turn, takes at least 4 months (Matsumoto I 1998) and runs at up to 30 °C (Matsumoto I 1998). Salt is 21.5 % (Matsumoto I 1998). Koji mould on rice and Added lactic acid bacteria and yeast do most of the fermenting.
Sendai miso uses little koji and a lot of salt, so it ripens slowly and depends on the koji enzymes for its taste. The beans are steamed deep and only coarsely crushed, the mash is tamped hard and turned several times, and a cool post-ripening finishes it. The Aichi type table gives salty red rice miso koji at 5–10, 11–13 % salt and 3–12 months [aichi-itc]. Shinshu miso uses a similar koji ratio but ripens short and stays pale.
Naturally brewed Sendai misoRipened at outdoor temperatures with no heating; turned in midsummer, at least twice [MATSUMOTO-1998].
Safety
Its high salt keeps it stable through months of ripening. The packing guide forbids hot packing and seed miso, and it adds sorbate, alcohol or heat only at shipping to stop packs from swelling.
Tradition holds that the miso Date Masamune took to Korea kept better than other lords' miso, and that he later built a miso works (goenso-gura) in Sendai. In the mid-17th century the domain's Edo mansion at Ōi brewed the same miso and sold its surplus in Edo. Sendai miso became a regional collective trademark in 2007 [MAFF-TF-sendaimiso]. The unified packing guide was written in 1965 after five years of trial brewing, and revised in 1968 and 1988 [MATSUMOTO-1998].
