Akita miso is a red-brown, salty rice miso from a rice-rich prefecture where almost every farm once made its own. Soybeans are steamed for many hours, cooled, pounded and packed with rice koji and salt, mostly in spring, then left in tubs for a year or more. Farm households surveyed in 1965–66 ate miso about two and a half years old on average.

Amounts from a sourceA traditional recipe by volume, as given on Japanese Wikipedia. Farm recipes varied widely; a 1965–66 survey of 635 households found rice from 0.5 to 16.2 per 10 of soybeans by volume.

Akita miso is a red-brown, salty rice miso from a rice-rich prefecture where almost every farm once made its own. Soybeans are steamed for many hours, cooled, pounded and packed with rice koji and salt, mostly in spring, then left in tubs for a year or more. Farm households surveyed in 1965–66 ate miso about two and a half years old on average. Made in 4 steps over 12 months. The longest step, age a year or more, takes at least 12 months (Japanese Wikipedia).
Akita miso was long a farm miso aged for years, with recipes that varied widely from district to district. Today it is described as a high-koji, sweetish miso, but there is no numerical definition; the prefecture's food research centre is studying aroma targets to define it.
Kōkyū Akita miso (1972 standard)The prefectural brewing station issued a standard packing method in 1972 for premium Akita miso.
Mame miso of Ōyu (Towada)In one northern district (Ōyu, Towada), about 54 % of households made soybean miso with no koji at all.
Safety
The 1965–66 survey says salt can safely be cut only where the tub and storage place are clean, so that no unwanted microbes grow, and it names half the soybean amount as the salt limit to work towards. It advises cooling the beans fast to below 50 °C, warns that unclean tubs may form tyramine, and says bean cooking liquid used as seed water invites bacteria and abnormal fermentation.
About 1668 the Kubota domain used about 28,000 koku of rice for miso and koji against an assessed yield of 320,000 koku. In 1910 the firm Kodama Gōmei first used the name "Akita miso". Many homes made miso and tamari until about 1940 (Japanese Wikipedia).
