Matsui

Matsui delivers Japanese miso to your kitchen. White miso is a mild, slightly sweet miso paste made from fermented soybeans, and it is the cornerstone of Japanese miso soup. It provides a deep umami flavour without being too strong, and is therefore a versatile starting point for many dishes. Perfect if you want to start authentic Japanese cooking at home.

What you will find here:

• White Miso 500g, mild and slightly sweet miso paste
• Fermented soybean paste for Japanese cuisine
• Base for miso soup and marinades

White miso is primarily used for miso soup with dashi, tofu, and spring onions, but it is much more than that. Stir it into a marinade for salmon or aubergine, use it in dressings and dips, or give ramen and glazed vegetables an umami boost. A tablespoon in a wok or soup significantly enhances the flavour.

Add miso at the end and avoid boiling it vigorously to best preserve the flavour. Store the paste in the refrigerator after opening.
