Organic mild Miso saikyo in 400g jar

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.

Saikyo miso西京味噌 (pronounced: sa-ï-kyo) comes from the Kansai region: its particularity is its high proportion of rice (up to 3 times more than soybeans) and its short fermentation time of only 2 or 3 months which give it its sweet, very mild taste and very light yellow colour. It is also not very salty (about 5.5% salt).

This paste Hikari Organic Miso Saikyô is used as a base for the famous Japanese miso soup but also for the preparation of ramen noodles, marinated foods or desserts. Beyond Japanese cuisine, this miso paste fits perfectly into your daily cooking for healthy meals full of flavour.
