We changed the aging period for both our Country Barley and Brown Rice misos from two years to one year.  This is due to changes in demand for our other varieties.  Our plan is to return to a two year aging process at some point in the future but we don’t have specific timing yet. Customers will occasionally see packaging for these varieties that refers to a 2 year aging time.  We made the decision to use these already-existing containers in order to avoid generating more plastic waste into our environment.
