Miso is an ingredient that I've heard about for many years and always wanted to try, but never remembered whenever I went to the store. I finally decided to just order some to try, and I am so glad I did. The flavor in this miso is wonderfully deep. It is extremely salty, but I am a sodium fanatic, so it's perfect for me. I also love the almost bitter note around the edges that give this paste an interesting complexity.
I love boosting my fried rice, ramen, soups, etc. with this stuff. I feel like this could be a good substitute for a bouillon cube, as well. I've also tried it on buttered toast, similar to how you would eat Vegemite (which I also love), to great success. Fully recommend!
