Pure, Honest Seasonings: The Heart of Every Meal
Great cooking starts with great seasonings.
At Yama no Manimani, we choose naturally brewed soy sauce, traditionally made miso, real sea salt, and other additive-free seasonings because we believe simple ingredients deserve authentic flavors.
Rather than relying on shortcuts or artificial additives, we look for products made with carefully selected ingredients and time-honored methods. They may take longer to make, but they bring out the natural character of every vegetable, grain, and seafood.
Since we all eat every day, we hope each meal here inspires you to enjoy food that’s simple, nourishing, and genuinely delicious—even after you’ve returned home.
Shiga Kogen Miso is naturally fermented without any temperature control, allowing it to mature at the pace of the seasons. A full year of slow aging, guided by each year’s unique climate, creates a rich, distinctive flavor shaped by the terroir of Shiga Kogen and the character of its long-established miso brewery.
(We especially recommend their three-year-aged miso. Although it has a much darker color, its flavor is surprisingly mellow and smooth rather than strong or overpowering.)
