Aka Miso, 500g (Dark Miso | Strong Flavours | Soy Based | Japanese Staple)

Excellent item! Actually better than the shiro miso. - Great flavour. Deeper than shiro, adds a layer of umami to your recipes

Good product. I liked the taste too. Only drawback is that there is too much sodium which is not healthy.

Try and ignore all bad reviews for this product...I lived a few years in Japan, this is one of the most authentic miso paste you will find in India

Very good miso paste compared to others that I had tried earlier. One needs to add right amount of the paste and allow it to boil. Adding few veggies like stir fried zucchini, or bok choy every time adds to the taste.

Tastes fine. Just smells a lot initially. Not sure if it is the correct taste though

Love this miso

I don't know how to describe the taste of it. I can't think of anything to compare it with. For Indians, our pallette is quite different so it can taste weird but not unpleasant. I make seaweed soup with miso. Its a very simple recipe. Cook diced vegetables (whatever is available depending on the season, I add potatoes, carrots and cabbage) and at last, add a tbsp of miso paste, rehydrated seaweed, salt, and a bit of soy sauce. Also, I can't comment whether this is authentic or not because I never had authentic miso. But this looks good quality.

Good quality

I like this miso and was about to purchase another order. However, amazon has DOUBLED the price since I last purchased 2 years ago!!!! The low rating is for amazon pricing. The product itself is good.

Taste great

Taste great, good flavor arrived timely, and was sealed.

As other customers have said, this stuff is NOT white Miso — it the color of fudge, a deep brown. Moreover, when I opened the jar, although it was sealed the contents were dried out and filled only about 2/3 of the jar. I tasted a tiny bit of it and found it to be bitter and quite salty. I don't know what this stuff is, but it's NOT Japanese white Miso. It is from India, so maybe that's the way they like it.

Arrived already much darker in color before even opening
