Miso Master Organic Mellow White Miso, Gluten-Free, Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan, Kosher, Vegan White Miso Paste, 16 oz tubUSDA Organic

Miso isn't just for soup. Did you know that chefs use this in sauces as well? So versatile and this brand has a mellow flavor without being overly salty. Keeps forever in the refrigerator. Try their red miso as well. I use both.

I love making Miso Soup and some of the Miso Paste contain alcohol. I have to stay away from alcohol so this is the perfect Miso Paste for me and it's delicious.

Quality and flavor are excellent with this miso. It lasts nearly forever, and the cost is low enough that you can make very easy miso soups and ramen for not much more than the starving artist package price. No kidding. Especially if you are willing to boil bones. The only thing you need to watch out for is salt.Things to keep around:Miso paste.Kimchi (you can make this inexpensively and easily)Sesame oil and tahinidried beans and ricedecent bouillon - anchovy, dashi, beef, chickenany cheap noodles that work for youcanned or dried meat or fishThese will work with whatever protein you have/can afford (beans and rice make a complete protein when things get really tight) plus whatever veggies might be starting to turn (waste not want not). As bleak as it looks on paper, pretty much anything you throw together will be healthy and taste good. Top it with a jammy (medium boiled) egg (boil water, take eggs right from the fridge, lower into water, boil for 6.5 minutes, cool immediately), and it's stupid good. Beyond that, you can get as fancy as you wanna be.

I want to start of by saying this is my favorite brand of white miso and have been using it for decades. When bought refrigerated in store it is always top quality. This seller obviously keeps this product in an unrefrigerated warehouse for long periods of time. My container arrived crushed. The contents had been unrefrigerated for so long that it was almost black. None of this is Great Eastern Sun's fault, it is the fault of the seller, Navistro. Steer clear of any miso sold by them, they don't care about quality control.

Reliably great miso, with a mild flavor that is great in veggie purees.

I'm not sure how much active bacteria there is. The taste is too strong to want to use much of it in soups or stews.

I grew up in Japan with soy based miso now due to a family member with soy allergy, we hadn't had miso as part of diet until I found out about this product. This taste just like miso made out of soy. Thank you for making this product!

I'm glad Amazon carries one of my favorite miso pastes cultured by Miso Master. Their traditional hands-on culturing makes them my favorite miso choice for health & flavor. I used to get it shipped from their "farm" in the eastern USA. The owners/producers have a wonderful origin story and are welcoming/educational to communicate with. Their Chickpea Miso is one of my favorites for flavor, and for varying the nutrients I get, which might strengthen my health. They produce several other delicious kinds too.
