Marukome Kun Awase Blended Miso Paste 650g

Awase Miso (合わせ味噌) is a versatile Japanese blended miso paste, combining different types of miso for a balanced and complex flavour. This particular paste from Marukome offers a harmonious mix of savoury depth from red miso and a milder, sweeter character from white miso, resulting in a rich umami taste that is not overpowering. It is a fundamental ingredient in Japanese cuisine, most famously used to make the base for daily miso soup. Simply dissolve a spoonful in dashi stock with tofu and wakame seaweed for an authentic, comforting meal. This blended miso is also excellent for creating marinades for fish like salmon or cod, adding a savoury glaze to grilled vegetables, or enriching noodle broths and sauces. Its smooth, consistent paste texture makes it easy to incorporate into both hot and cold dishes. This is a staple for any home cook looking to explore traditional Japanese flavours.
