Speaking of "Miso" in Kagawa Prefecture, white miso is famous for its rich flavor and refreshing sweetness, but Shodoshima also produces 100% naked wheat miso that is prepared by adding only salt to barley koji. White miso is abundantly used in local dishes unique to Kagawa, such as miso pickles of anmochi, pickled soybeans and managatsuo. Barley miso goes well with fish dishes. It is a fermented food that contains many nutrients such as vitamins, potassium, calcium, iron, and saponins. Recently, a cup of miso soup every day has been shown to prevent cancer, and has attracted attention.
