What is Shiro Miso (White Miso)?
Shiro Miso is the mildest variety of miso. It has a shorter fermentation time, resulting in a lighter color and a sweeter, more delicate flavor. It is ideal for light soups, dressings, and marinades where you want a subtle umami depth without it being too dominant.

How to Use Shiro Miso?

• Miso soup: The classic use: Dissolve a tablespoon or two in hot dashi stock for an instant and comforting soup.

• Marinades: Fantastic for marinating fish (as in the famous dish "Miso Black Cod"), chicken and pork.

• Dressings: Mix with rice vinegar, oil and a little ginger for a lovely salad dressing.

• Glaze: Perfect for glazing vegetables such as eggplant (Nasu Dengaku).
