Misho was the court's miso-like paste, in which the soybean grains still showed. The Engishiki, completed in 927, lists its ingredients for one batch, soybeans for hishio, rice for koji, wheat, sake and salt, and says they make 1 koku of paste, but it does not describe the method. This is a text-only reconstruction from the recipe as two modern sources quote it.

Recipe
Amounts from a sourceThe Engishiki court recipe (Ōzen-shiki, 造雑物法), by volume, which yields 1 koku of misho. 1 koku = 10 to = 100 shō = 1,000 gō.

At a glance
Misho was the court's miso-like paste, in which the soybean grains still showed. The Engishiki, completed in 927, lists its ingredients for one batch, soybeans for hishio, rice for koji, wheat, sake and salt, and says they make 1 koku of paste, but it does not describe the method. This is a text-only reconstruction from the recipe as two modern sources quote it.
Misho is the court paste closest to miso, with the bean grains left in (NDL). The court's hishio for the emperor used 3 koku of soybeans with rice, glutinous rice, wheat, sake and salt; misho uses 1 koku of hishio beans with rice, wheat, sake and salt.
Kugo-bishio (供御醤), hishio for the emperorEngishiki volume 33; soybeans 3 koku, rice 1 to 5 shō, glutinous rice 4 shō 3 gō 3 shaku 2 sai, wheat and sake 1 to 5 shō each, salt 1 koku 5 to, giving 1 koku 5 to of hishio (NDL).
Safety
The Engishiki says nothing about safety. As a general hazard for mould-ripened pastes, Ito and Matsuyama (2021) note that wild Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus make aflatoxin, while the koji moulds A. oryzae and A. sojae, bred for soy sauce and miso, do not. Nothing says which mould this koji used, so a koji that grows from wild mould cannot be assumed free of aflatoxin.
The Engishiki was ordered in 905 and its main text was completed and presented to the throne in 927 (Wikipedia). Its text writes 未醤, which Tsuchiyama and co-authors say is correctly 末醤. The Taihō Code of 701 already had a court office for hishio, and the court's hishio store recorded hishio and kuki (the forerunner of salted nattō) (NDL).
