4. When you can easily mash a soy bean between two fingers, it's done! Next you should mash soybeans very well.
5. The soybeans look like this after mashing.
6. After mashing, weigh the miso so you can calculate exactly how much salt to use (next step)
7. Add the weight of soybeans by the weight of koji (here it's 500 g). Multiply that number by 0.12, then divide by 0.88. - - Salt = (weight of mashed soybeans + weight of koji) x 0.12 / 0.88

15. Put a heavy weight on top.
16. Wrap up and close the plastic liner bag so it's inside the container. Cover the container with a lid and say good night! See you next year!
