Organic red miso in jar 500g

Appearing in Japan in the 7th century, then reserved for the nobility and samurai, miso 味噌 (pronounced misso) is an essential condiment in the daily cooking of the Japanese.

The Miso from the producer Hikari is produced in the Shinshu region, prefecture of Nagano, renowned for its natural wealth (water, air, cool climate), exclusively from the best natural ingredients. Behind the simplicity of its ingredients (fermented soybeans, rice or wheat, sea salt and water) lies a complex art comparable to that of cheese in the West.

This Red Miso 赤味噌 (aka miso) organic has undergone a long fermentation process hence its pronounced taste stronger than white miso and rich in umami. Miso: uses rice as a leavening agent (kome-miso): it is rich in protein and has multiple health benefits. As miso contains a lot of salt, it is therefore necessary to be careful with the quantity used.

Miso paste is used for example as a base for the famous Japanese miso soup but also for the preparation of ramen noodles, marinades or desserts. Beyond Japanese cuisine, miso paste fits perfectly into our everyday cooking. Thanks to the Umami flavour, it enhances all the flavours of your preparations!

Miso paste is a very popular ingredient in Japanese cuisine.
