More
about Japanese Miso...
Miso is a traditional Japanese food produced by fermenting rice, barley and/or
soybeans, with salt and the mold kojikin (the most typical miso is made with
soy). The typical result is a thick paste used for sauces and spreads, pickling
vegetables or meats, and mixing with dashi soup stock to serve as miso soup
called Misoshiru (white miso), a Japanese culinary staple.
High in protein and rich in vitamins and minerals, miso played an important
nutritional role in feudal Japan. Miso is still very widely used in Japan,
both in traditional and modern cooking, and has been gaining world-wide interest.
Miso is typically salty, but its flavor and aroma depend on various factors
in the ingredients and fermentation process. Different varieties of miso have
been described as salty, sweet, earthy, fruity, and savoury, and there is
an extremely wide variety of miso available.
