Miso Paste

I love Miso soup.. and in Japan.. you find all kinds.. and they are not in powder form .. like those we find in the West . .they really have the paste sold fresh in the supermarket/grocery store.  Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning produced by fermenting rice, barley and soybean with salt and a type of fungus.

Miso is still very widely used in Japan, both in traditional and modern cooking, and has been gaining world-wide interest. Miso is typically salty, but its flavor and aroma depend on various factors in the ingredients and fermentation process. Different varieties of miso have been described as salty, sweet, earthy, fruity, and savory, and there is an extremely wide variety of miso available.
