Why it took 5 years to develop the series

When sales of the first product in the series, "Sake Kasu Cream Cheese," got off the ground, there was a proposal to commercialize "Miso Pickled Cream Cheese. However, when we made a prototype, we found that it was indeed delicious, but the taste was somewhat lacking in the range of our imagination. In search of a more overwhelmingly delicious taste, the days of repeated prototyping continued. We changed the type of miso, the place of origin, and the seasonings, and went through dozens of prototypes. However, no matter how many combinations we tried, we could never achieve the ideal taste. When I was at a loss, I was introduced to koji by a supplier who had been helping me. I added koji to miso and fermented it at a low temperature for a long time and soaked cheese in it, which turned out to be surprisingly delicious thanks to the koji. We decided to use Tsugaru three-year-aged soybean paste, which is characterized by its richness. After five years of planning, we finally succeeded in commercializing the product.
