Miso Shop in Gotanda - Sakamoto Shoten

Ever Since I started my miso class, which has been overwhelmingly popular, I started to look around if there are any miso specialty shops around. And, I found one just in my neighborhood. I must have  rode passed it on my bike numerous times, but I had never realized that it was a miso shop!

The Sakamoto Shoten which carries over 30 kinds of miso has been business here in Higashi Gotanda since 1922.  They sell miso by weight. (prices range from 320 yen per kilo, min. 500g) So from now on, I will buy my miso here. If you are into miso, please visit this shop which is only 2 minutes from Gotanda Station (JR Yamanote Line) , East Exit, next to the Mitsui Sumitomo Bank. 
​

This is what the shop looks like.

The shop staff can recommend a miso of your liking. Tell them if you like sweet or salty, smooth or grainy, strong or light, light or dark

This 100 yen miso is great if you want to try out various kinds of miso. One pack can make about 4-5 cups of miso.
