Tour gastronômico guiado de meio dia em Nagano Ishii Miso

super insightful experience as a major lover of red miso. the package is worth it if you find the shirt and apron useful! but for me i would have rather just the miso and meal. regardless, it was a super hearty and yummy meal 🥰

The tour guide, who is also the owner of the factory, speaks very good English and explains everything very clearly. The food served was delicious. I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about miso and taste the food.

The tour itself is free (please see my third photo), but it still offers great value for money because of 1) really good purchases (500g 3-year miso, limited edition apron, and t-shirts) and 2) a truly good and hearty lunch, which needs to be reserved in advance rather than on the spot. The guide is the fourth-generation owner who can explain everything well in English. The price is reasonable. Highly recommended.

Puedes hacer este tour gratis, pero con esta experiencia obtienes la que fue una de las mejores comidas que tuve, donde puedes probar diferentes misos y una bolsa llena de golosinas (con miso, por supuesto) para llevar a casa.

I had a wonderful experience joining this tour. The tour guide, who is the current CEO of the miso brewery, explained miso to the guests. After the guide, I had lunch featuring the miso they had crafted in the warehouse. Totally recommend!

No estoy seguro si fue intencional, pero mi guía turístico fue el CEO de la compañía de miso, quien hablaba un inglés excelente. El almuerzo fue muy agradable, todos los platillos estaban hechos con miso. Al final, también recibes una bolsa de regalos: una camiseta, un frasco de su miso añejo de 3 años, etc. Definitivamente, visítalo si estás en Matsumoto.

This is a self-guided tour. It is very informative as it is run by a 6th generation family member who speaks excellent English and knows the science and art of miso very well. The tour took just over 30 minutes and was followed by a delicious lunch. We were also given show bags as a bonus - I'm not sure if that always happens or if it was because it was New Year. Highly recommend - we went to the art gallery beforehand which is a 5-minute walk away.

This was our favorite part of our visit to Matsumoto. The tour was informative, easy to understand and so interesting. We started analyzing and comparing every miso soup we had on the rest of our trip after this. haha The lunch was delicious in a lovely setting. Highly recommend!

The tour was excellent, and given by the big boss himself! His English was excellent. I appreciated him taking the time to answer our questions and taking us through the process step by step, not just in his factory but also on miso production in Japan as a whole. The lunch was exceptional, the flavours perfectly balanced. The staff was courteous throughout and the gift bag was very well thought out. I enjoyed my time here and highly recommend this experience. Excellent value and a high quality experience.

本当に素晴らしい体験でした！工場の社長が英語でツアーを案内してくださり、伝統的な味噌作りの工程を説明してくれました。ツアーは約30分で、その後、敷地内の小さなレストランで昼食をとりました。昼食はセットメニューで、それぞれの料理に彼らが作る様々な味噌製品が使われていました。本当に美味しく（注：豚肉が含まれていました）、好き嫌いの多い私の子供も気に入っていました。強くお勧めします。
