What is Shinshu Shiro Miso?
Shinshu Shiro Miso is a light miso paste made from fermented soya beans. It is one of the milder varieties of miso and is frequently used in everyday Japanese cooking. Thanks to a shorter fermentation period, its flavour remains gentle and slightly sweet. This makes it particularly well-suited for soups, sauces and many other dishes.
What does light miso paste taste like?
Light miso paste has a mild, slightly sweet flavour with a pronounced umami. Compared to darker varieties of miso, it tastes milder and less salty. This balance makes it very versatile, as it adds depth to dishes without overpowering other ingredients.
How do I store miso paste?
Once opened, miso should be kept in the fridge. Thanks to fermentation, the paste has a long shelf life as long as it is stored in a cool place and scooped out cleanly. An airtight container helps to preserve the flavour.
What makes Hikari’s miso paste special?
