Aka miso soy organic

Aka miso: the Japanese soy classic

Miso is a Japanese fermented paste, popular in countless dishes. It is traditionally made from soybeans, salt and kōji (a fungus that promotes fermentation). Sometimes rice, barley or other grains are also added. The flavor is savory and rich in umami, perfect for soups, marinades, dressings and sauces.

What makes aka miso special?

Aka miso is ideal when you want to give dishes more depth and a robust umami flavor. It is a Japanese fermented miso paste with a deep, rich umami flavor. It is fermented longer than white miso (shiro miso), usually one to three years, giving it a stronger and saltier flavor. Its color ranges from reddish brown to dark brown.
