. The white miso used in Toraya's ozoni is produced by Honda Miso, which is located near Toraya Karyo's Kyoto Ichijo branch. The sweet, thick, rich white miso, round rice cakes, prawns, Kyoto carrots, and other ingredients are used to create a unique New Year's flavor that can be enjoyed at Toraya Karyo.
