Shirakiku Miso Shiro (white) Soy Bean Paste, 35.27-Ounce Bags (Pack of 2)

Great salty flavor and very versatile in cooking. Mostly have used it in stews but a little goes a long way. Great bang for the buck.

Shirakiku Miso Paste is my preferred brand for Miso. It's not as salty as the Miso paste offered locally in the stores here in Fairbanks.It has great flavor and I use it quite often.I have made Miso soup multiple times, Miso Chicken ( also multiple times) salad dressing, sauces, and I'm still experimenting.I made Miso chicken with another brand ( the one available locally) and the chicken came out so salty it was hard to eat. When I made the same recipe with this Shirakiku Brand Miso, it was perfect! It was NOT overly salty, you could taste the miso but also the other flavors (sesame, sugar, ginger, beer) blended well.The Miso soup comes out perfect every time and is so fast and easy!I love Miso and would highly recommend this brand, it's a good price for a large quantity and good quality.

Excellent! Thanks!

This miso paste is absolutely delicious and has become a staple in my kitchen. The flavor is deep, savory, and umami-rich — exactly what you'd expect from high-quality fermented miso. It dissolves easily in hot water for quick soups, but I’ve also used it in marinades, salad dressings, and even to elevate sauces and stir-fries.I really appreciate how fresh it tastes right out of the container, with no artificial aftertaste. The texture is smooth, making it easy to work with, and a little goes a long way. It’s a great balance of saltiness and complexity, whether you’re making a traditional miso soup or adding depth to other dishes.

The product I received was a light yellow-gold color as expected. Taste is mild as also expected. You can use as little or as much as you prefer. Some other reviewers said this is not "white" miso but what I received is - I also buy this brand's red miso which is very different in color (darker, red) and taste (much more intense). The value is hard to beat. It stores well in the fridge and in the freezer. Does not lose flavor. I use a lot of miso so it's never stored for very long periods of time. This has become my go-to brand.

Miso is my go to health food. Keeps my body yang and ph balanced.Healing and healthy. Mix it 50/50 with tahini and a bit of water to make a sauce for rice and everything else…..

I bought the double pack and it is a LOT of miso! I keep the opened pack in the fridge and I hope it will stay fresh for a long time. Great quality and excellent value for the price.

Love miso soup!
