Hikari Shinshu Awase Miso 1 Kg (Pack of 2)

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 taste! Huge amount.

Delicious. Either as a mug of hot drink on a winter's day, or as a soup, this is just salty enough, easy to make. There's a good, cloudy mix of paste in the liquid which doesn't settle too quickly. 2 x 1kg pack = absolutely loads and will easily last me a good amount of time. Will definitely be buying again

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.

Two plastic bags of MISO paste. Snip the corner off and squeeze out what you want, then use a clip to seal the bag and it will keep in the fridge for ages. My cut means a sausage the same diameter as a pencil comes out and I use about three quarters of a pencil in every large mug. This works out a fraction of the price of the powdered MISO soup in supermarkets, plus it tastes better too. Also worth thinking about buying some sushi seaweed and crumbling this in - the result is then very similar to what you get served in Pret a Manger - and that's not a bad thing.

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.

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.

It is an excellent product, and a squeeze of miso adds life and health to any soup you may be making. two 1 Kg packs may seem rather a lot, but once opened,and kept in the fridge it is good for six months, the other pack goes in the freezer for later. i highly recommend this nutty healthy product
