Why British Fava Beans & Lentils?
Most commercial miso relies on imported, commodity soy beans. At Umami Chef, we pair ancient Japanese fermentation methods with locally grown British legumes.
The result? A cleaner, nuttier, more complex flavour profile that celebrates British farming – naturally unpasteurised, additive-free, and gut-friendly.
