Summary
Artisan who manufactures bean miso using soybean koji and salt as raw materials. Handles processes such as steaming, koji attachment, salting, fermentation, and aging, and manages quality and hygiene.
Description
Bean miso manufacturing workers steam soybeans, add koji mold to make koji, salt and mix them, and then ferment them long-term in tanks to produce miso. They handle raw material blending, temperature and humidity control, pH measurement for quality management, operation and maintenance inspection of manufacturing equipment, and safety and hygiene management. To uniformize the flavor and color of the product, adjustments to aging periods and regular inspections are necessary. Work is performed in indoor workshops, requiring physical strength for handling heavy raw materials and barrels, and operating forklifts.
Future Outlook
Due to growing interest in health-oriented and traditional foods, demand for fermented foods such as bean miso is expected to remain stable, but the introduction of automation and labor-saving technologies will require higher expertise from technicians.
