Clearspring Organic Japanese Brown Rice Miso Unpasteurised Jar 5.29 oz

This robust miso, Genmai Miso in Japanese, has been developed for maximum nutrition. Since it is made using Whole soya beans and Brown rice, it has a very wholefood nutritional profile. Depending on the region and climate where the miso is made, the skill and experience of the brewmaster judges when the miso has reached its optimum maturity. This can vary from 6 months during a hot summer period in certain prefecture to 18 months in colder regions. It adds a rich flavour and concentrated goodness to sauces, baked dishes, soups and beans. It also makes an outstanding miso soup. Clearspring's Miso range is a selection of the finest authentic and traditionally slow-fermented Japanese Miso. Staple food and seasoning enjoyed daily throughout Japan, with an abundance of umami. It is made from fermented Soya beans, Rice or Barley, Koji culture and Sea salt. Miso has a unique, naturally salty flavour and aroma which varies depending on the fermentation time, temperature and the length of the ageing process. It takes years to perfect the balance of miso which results in a sweet, earthy, savoury and fruity product. All our miso is made to traditional recipes with the best possible organic ingredients but since miso is a live product the taste, colour and consistency will vary slightly depending on the region and the season. Miso is a live product and ongoing fermentation may cause the lid to bulge. It will still be safe to consume.
