Drawing inspiration from gochujang, a fermented hot pepper paste that is a staple in Korean cooking, this sauce balances the heat of chili peppers with the umami of miso and soy sauce to create a condiment that pairs with everything from grilled meat to ramen. Subtle sweetness from apples, starch syrup, and molasses offer relief from the spice of the chili peppers, while onion extract adds a touch of vibrant acidity. 

Since 1817 Aizu Tenpo has been enriching the typical dining experience with its line of fermented foods. With products ranging from miso and koji to amazake and pickles, there’s something for everyone. While times continue to change, this long-established miso shop still takes great pride in preserving the history and traditions of the region, especially the Aizu miso-making process which dates back over 300 years.
