Miso is a seasoning paste and vegetable protein source from Japan. Traditionally it is made from soybeans through a fermentation process. Miso serves as a basis for soups and sauces…
Miso is considered a fundamental element of Japanese food culture. The paste is made from a starter culture called koji, fermented soybeans and another grain such as rice, barley or rye. It is the fermentation process that gives the paste its unmistakable taste. By the way, the darker the paste, the more intense its taste.
Miso serves as the basis for soups and sauces and can be used as a seasoning. If you’ve never tried Miso before, we recommend that you order a bowl of traditional Miso soup. For those of you who are familiar with Miso, there’s something creative for you: Pamper your taste buds with a Miso & Butterscotch Ice Cream!
