Superior red miso 400g

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 of the producer Hikari is produced in the Shinshu region, prefecture of Nagano, renowned for its natural wealth (water, air, cool climate) and 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) has undergone a lengthy fermentation process hence its pronounced flavour which is stronger than white miso and rich in umami. It uses rice as a leavening (kome-miso): rich in proteins, it has multiple benefits on digestion, cholesterol and blood circulation, very appreciated by macrobiotic lovers As miso contains a lot of salt, it is therefore necessary to pay attention to 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, marinade or desserts. Beyond Japanese cuisine, miso paste fits perfectly into our everyday cooking. Thanks to the Umami flavour, it spices up all the flavours of your preparations!
