    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!

    Listen, I read all the reviews. I looked at all the pictures. I knew that there was a huge possibility that I would be receiving black miso, but I figured I would try to order this affordable white miso because everything else is just so much more expensive. I really wanted to try NYT’s miso chicken recipe and I wasn’t about to pay $17 for 16 ounces of white miso. Therefore, I purchased this to try just in case I didn’t like the flavor. Again, it’s a disgustingly brown black color but the chicken came out great. My 10-year-old son loved it. My 75-year-old mother loved it. It came out pretty decent. I don’t know how much of the success of this dish was due to the miso or the recipe, but it worked. However, I’m giving it four stars simply for false advertising.

    I'm on a Doctor-ordered low-sodium diet and it is hard to find ingredients that have good flavors. This is a delicious miso that will help you add umami without a lot of salt. I have made a couple different soups and it added a nice base. I especially liked it in the Chickpea coconut soup recipe. It really grounded the flavor.

    My white miso paste was very dark brown, almost black. I spoke with amazon chat and requested a refund. I am not sure why there are so many people who received the black paste (I can see from reviews and questions that several people received the black paste) but from everything I have researched fresh, unopened packages of white miso should never be darker than a light brown or a yellow color seen in the picture. This is either a different type of paste or the paste was not stored/packaged correctly. Even the description says that this color is not correct. I also notice that the price has gone up, indicating that the black batch was a reduced price. This all seems very odd to me like they made a bad batch and tried to unload it anyway.

Color: Due to the natural maturing process of unpasteurized miso which is made using a natural fermentation process, this may cause the color to darken over time, if the product you receive is too dark or too light for your liking please message the seller and they will exchange or refund your order. Store in a cool and dry location.
Japanese Cuisine: White shiro miso was invented by the Japanese, created in a cool environment in the northern region near China, using the cool mountain air to culture the fermented soy beans, blended in the perfect batch size using manufacturing techniques which was perfected by modern day manufacturing equipment overlooked by a passionate miso paster.
Same recipe, new design: We’ve recently updated our design that better fits our vibe and color theme. Please enjoy the new look while appreciating the same depth of flavor you know.
Size: With 2.2 lb of miso or 6 oz, you can find many uses, throw into a marinade, salad dressings, bbq sauce, cookie dough recipe and over salmon, some sweet some savery – share your favorite recipe with us.
Tzum Essen was created for foodies who want quality ingredients with efficient and convenience packaging and is used in home kitchens and small resteraunts across the US.
Flavor profile: Adding Umami flavors to your dish can only be achieved by a few ingredient, here we have our fermented soybean miso paste. It has a consistency of a thick hummus and taste like a mild flavourful soy sauce with an enhanced flavor profile. Sweet & mild, salty with the fermented depth flavor
