Hikari Soybean Paste - Shinshu Miso 400g

Lovely miso, use it on/with most food. Very good for the microbiome.

Tasty product: best miso I’ve found! Speedy delivery too

Great taste, good price

Excellent miso paste, lovely flavour.

I've been using this miso for a few years - it's better value than the small jars that are available, so especially useful when needing larger amounts for stocks or sauces. The taste is light and recognisable. The pale colour makes this especially good for broths but it's important to taste before adding more salt. A bit difficult to store once open but a very versatile ingredient. I use miso a lot as I spend a lot of time in Japan - I particularly like this one and it's vegetarian/vegan friendly.

Good quality

Thanks

Never had miso before, but bought to use in Seitan recipes. It smells and tastes delicious- the closest thing I can describe the smell/taste as is almost a sweet Parmesan cheese (in a good way!). I was worried the package might be squashed after reading other reviews but it was in perfect condition and once opened I’ve just transferred it all into an old jam jar in my fridge rather than mess around keeping a half opened packet (it’s easy to squidge in if you just cut a corner off the pack). Perfect!
