Maruman Organic Koji Miso Paste - Reduced Salt

Miso paste is a highly versatile ingredient that can be utilized in a wide range of creative ways. While it can easily be used to prepare miso soup, this koji miso paste will result in a milder and somewhat sweeter flavor profile. Instead, consider incorporating it into tonjiru (Japanese pork soup), where it perfectly complements the other flavors, yielding a rich umami experience.

This miso paste also blends well with mayonnaise, allowing you to create a savory dip for vegetables, known as misomayo (with a ratio of Miso 1: Mayonnaise 1-2). For a unique and flavorful dish, try marinating camembert cheese with this miso in a Ziplock bag, leaving it in the fridge for 3 to 5 days, and then enjoying the cheese with wine or sake.

This organic miso paste is fermented with a carefully calculated balance of rice koji and soybeans, containing 25% less salt than typical miso pastes. Made with organic rice and soybeans, the miso paste has a lighter color compared to other varieties, yet still retains the bold, rich, and distinctive miso flavor that you know and love.

The slight sweetness and milder salt taste of this miso paste make it an intriguing choice, particularly for those who prefer to eat organic and wish to reduce their salt intake. In addition to the aforementioned uses, this miso paste can be used to create savory miso-glazed salmon or eggplant, further showcasing its versatility.

Produced in Japan, this organic miso paste offers a unique and flavorful alternative to traditional miso products, making it an excellent choice for those seeking to explore the diverse culinary applications of this essential ingredient.
