Shared Cultures
Newly imagined, alternative soy sauces, misos, and marinades using the magic of koji.
Eleana Hsu and Kevin Gondo’s passion for mushroom foraging sent them on an adventure deep into the world of preservation and fermentation. During this journey, they unearthed the wonders of KOJI, one of the oldest wild fungi in existence used for centuries to ferment culturally important foods like soy sauce, miso and sake. Eleana’s grandmother was an excellent fermenter who fermented with koji as well, and Kevin’s grandparents helped introduce Japanese food and culture in Texas by opening the very first Japanese restaurant there in 1962! With their Chinese-American and Japanese-American heritage as their guide, Shared Cultures hopes to honor their cultural food traditions while crossing multi-cultural barriers. They hope their products inspire us to contemplate the ever-evolving dynamics of food culture!

Santa Maria Pinquito Bean Miso
This miso features Rancho Gordo Santa Maria Pinquito Beans front and center, alongside Santa Fe Chili Spice from our friends at Oaktown Spice Shop. If California had a state bean, it would be the pinquito. Pinquito beans are grown on California’s central coast and are traditionally served with BBQ tri-tip that made the Santa Maria region famous.
This miso is deeply umami and unlike any other with smoky, bold, oaky, and tangy notes.
Ingredients: Santa Maria Pinquito Beans from Rancho Gordo, organic kokuho rose rice, Santa Fe Chili Powder from Oaktown Spice Shop, sea salt, water, koji culture.
We made this miso with some help from our friends! This miso was made as part of a very collaboration with our friends at Slow Food East Bay (SFEB), a volunteer-driven and member-supported nonprofit, the local chapter of the global Slow Food movement. SFEB believes that all people have the right to enjoy food that is good for them, good for the people who grow it and good for the planet.
