What is Hatcho Miso?

- It is still called "Hatcho Miso" because it was made in Hatcho Village, eight cho (approximately 800 meters) west of Okazaki Castle, the castle where the family resided.
- It is made using only soybeans, salt, and water, and brewed in wooden barrels for "two summers and two winters," following the original recipe.
