Banko-yaki is a pottery that goes well with fermentation.

The key to making fermented foods is to choose a container first.
Unlike ordinary fully-coated containers, the use of earthenware pottery creates an environment that allows the gases emitted during fermentation to escape.

The important thing in making miso is not to let it come into contact with excess air.
After the miso is prepared, the miso is sealed with plastic wrap, and an inner lid or weight is placed to remove as much air as possible. Banko ware from Mie Prefecture is known for its fire resistance and durability, and is known for its teapots and clay pots. This pottery is also suitable for lactic acid fermentation because it can be adjusted to a certain degree of humidity by using moderately coarse pottery clay. The surface is glazed and has a smooth touch. (the back of the lid is not glazed)

*Regarding mold when making your own miso Mold will grow on the surface of the miso even if you wrap it in plastic wrap or place a weight on it. The white mold is a yeast fungus called membrane yeast, which is essential for fermentation, but even so, I think there are some people who think that it looks a little strange. If you are concerned about the appearance or taste, please remove it with a spoon after aging. In addition, other black, blue, and purple molds should be observed if they are small, and should be removed if they are large and three-dimensional. Scoop up the area around the mold with a spoon or the like. Mold is also a fungus, so it may have roots around it.
