Miso Lab Shiro White Miso Paste

Description:

Miso Lab Shiro White Miso Paste brings an authentic taste of Japan to the everyday kitchen. Sourced from Nagano Prefecture — the heartland of Japanese miso — it is made the traditional way by inoculating soybeans and rice with koji culture and fermenting the mash slowly, with no additives, no alcohol and no GMO ingredients.

Aged for around three months, shiro (white) miso is the mildest and sweetest of the miso styles, with a smooth, creamy texture and a gentle, rounded umami rather than the salt-forward punch of a darker paste. That makes it the most versatile jar in the pantry and the easiest starting point for anyone new to cooking with miso.

Use it to build a classic miso soup, to loosen a salad dressing with rice vinegar and sesame oil, as a marinade for fish, chicken or roasted vegetables, or stirred through mashed potato and butter. It also works in sweet applications — caramel, cookies and ice cream — where a spoonful adds savoury depth. Miso is a living food, so stir it in off the heat or at the very end of cooking to keep the beneficial cultures intact, and keep the jar refrigerated once opened.

Made in Japan and packed in a 270g jar. Naturally vegan and dairy free.
