The 30th of every month is 'Miso Day'.
It was established in 1982 by the National Federation of Miso Industry Cooperative Associations, whose purpose is to promote and develop traditional Japanese food culture. That was 40 years ago. The date is derived from the Japanese word for the last day of the month, "Misoka". So December 31st, the last day of the year, is called "O-misoka".
There are various theories about the origin of miso, such as the introduction of its shoyu by a Japanese envoy to the Tang dynasty, or its origin in Japan between the Jomon and Yayoi periods, but it has truly been the soul food of the Japanese people since ancient times.

When you take it out of the bag, you can hardly tell the difference between powdered green tea and matcha, except for a slight difference in color🍃.
Do you know the difference?🤔💭
■MATCHA
・A powdered form of tea called "tencha".
・It contains a lot of theanine, the umami ingredient.
・much more expensive than powdered green tea💰
・commonly used in tea ceremonies and sweets🍩
・also mixed with salt🧂 to make matcha salt, which is used when eating tempura🍤
■GREEN TEA
・A powdered version of sencha.
・It contains many catechins, which are good for the body🙆♀️!
・less expensive than matcha.
・easy to make without using a teapot and produces no tea husks👍
・I also recommend mixing shochu with green tea!🍶
If you're interested, you should definitely try to compare!😊💚
