Yamagen Daichi No Megumi Miso Paste 750g

Miso (味噌) is a traditional Japanese seasoning paste produced by fermenting soybeans with salt and kōji, a type of fungus. This Daichi No Megumi miso from Yamagen is a fresh, unpasteurised type, offering a deep, complex flavour profile that is both savoury and slightly sweet with a rich umami character. It is ideal for making authentic miso soup, a staple in Japanese cuisine, by simply dissolving it in dashi stock. You can also use it to create marinades for fish like salmon or cod, add depth to ramen broths, or mix it into dressings for salads and vegetables. For the best flavour and to preserve its beneficial live cultures, add the miso towards the end of the cooking process and avoid boiling it. As a fresh product, it should be kept refrigerated after opening to maintain its quality. This paste is a fundamental component for anyone looking to explore traditional Japanese cooking at home.
