Illustrated by Mizuho Fujisawa
5 stars
A sweet story of traditions, family, and patience.
Join Chiyoko as she learns how to make miso with her father. At first Chiyoko is bored with the chore, but soon she finds the magic in the process, enjoying the tradition and her family history.
Nicely written and cozy with beautiful illustrations.
The backmatter includes a glossary, information about the mold that gives miso its umami flavor, and a simple recipe for miso soup.
A lovely book that shows the value of patience and the magic of miso.
