Hikari Shinshu Awase Miso 1 Kg

For being Aka-miso ("red" miso) this isn't as strong flavoured as other red miso is, which, to me, is good - i prefer mild miso (the taste normally associated with shiro-miso, or "white" miso). This one, it's just slightly earthier and a tad more full-bodied than white miso; but you also get a ton of miso for the money.If i had to do a professional business lunch, then i would probably go for a packet of white miso, but for normal day-to-day, this is absolutely a steal.

Good value compared to most shop bought versions

Very nice product. No bits and mixes in very well tastes great to. Just would have preferred to buy just 1 packet not 2 but it will soon get used as it's yummy.

I'm a fan of white miso. But this bag of mixed miso made some amazing soups.I always add it right at the very end after mixing into a thin paste in a bowl with just a small amount of water. I'll cook all the soup ingredients.Remove from heat, then stir in the thin paste I've made up whilst that was boiling.I've found this helps to keep all of the flavour rather than boiling the miso in with the rest of the soup.

Good flavour bit salty but i keep buying it. Good for soup

We live in countryside and require a lot of time and effort to go to Asian market in Dublin.I do not have to worry about it anymore for this miso paste which I use quite often.

This stuff is legit. I make so much after getting this bag. When I moved to Scotland, I wondered if I would be able to make Korean food at home. I use this in so much of my food. it’s easy to store. I just cut a corner and squeeze out what I need and keep it in a zip lock bag. So glad this is here.

This awase miso is a delicious blend of white and red, ground very fine so there is little or no bean residue left at the bottom of soup. Many miso pastes have little, unground bits, which is why miso is often blended in a fine mesh strainer immersed in the liquid, to trap the bits, This practice is unnecessary with this paste.I read that miso, being fermented, is supposed to be very good for gut bacteria, though with no medical knowledge I have no idea if this is true.Enjoying the combination of savoury flavour with honey undertones, I like to use miso as a flavouring/marinade in various dishes, as well as in soup. I will certainly be ordering more of this product.
