European Miso Institute is a non-profit organisation with primary focus on bridging the knowledge gap and enhancing the understanding of miso (fermented bean paste) within European context.
Our mission:
Encouraging a interdisciplinary curiosity towards miso and miso-based products by accelerating cross-domain scientific research, providing open-access source of information, challenging current cooking habits, promoting healthy and sustainable diets, building miso communities and bridging the gaps between Japanese and European food cultures.
