Ingredients
Format
This white miso is made at a ratio of 10 soybeans to 10 rice grains, a unique blend that only Echigo miso can produce. The soybeans are boiled and the skin removed to make them white. This miso is made from domestic soybeans and rice and, after maturing for about two months, is refrigerated to suspend its colouring. It has a light flavour and is recommended when you want to enhance the flavour of a light soup.
Miso contains yeast which makes it a living food: keep it in the fridge if you want to stop its fermentation, or keep it at room temperature if you want a stronger taste.
Good to know: what is called “Echigo miso” is a light-coloured, smooth-textured, full-bodied miso made from rice koji and characterised by a good balance between saltiness and the refreshing sweetness and fragrance of the koji. The rice grains are visible in the miso as polished round rice is used.
