What is Miso?

Miso is a richly flavored and deliciously versatile food created through natural fermentation using simple ingredients (traditionally including soybeans, koji rice or barley, water, salt, and time.)

We take a modern approach by using locally sourced beans, koji rice, and vegetables or mushrooms to craft our unique miso varieties.

Our misos are lower in salt and are loved by acclaimed chefs and home cooks wanting to boost flavor.

How To Use Miso?

Miso is extremely versatile. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Miso Marinades

Create flavorful marinades for meat, seafood, or vegetables by mixing miso with other ingredients like soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey. Marinate for a few hours before cooking.

Miso Dressings

Blend miso with ingredients like vinegar, oil, and honey or citrus for a delicious salad dressing. You can adjust the consistency and flavor to your liking.

Miso Pasta Sauce

Mix miso into a pot of drained pasta with some butter or olive oil. The starchy pasta water will thicken with the miso and create an instant sauce.

Miso Glazes

Miso makes an excellent glaze for roasted or grilled dishes. Mix it with some mirin, sugar, and other seasonings, then brush it over chicken, fish, or vegetables before cooking.

Miso Stir-Fries

Mix miso into a pan while your ingredients like mushrooms or vegetables are cooking.

It will instantly give you a delicious sauce.

Miso Butter

Mix miso with softened butter to create a flavorful spread for bread or as a topping for grilled corn on the cob.

Miso Soup

The most common use of miso is in making miso soup. Simply dissolve a spoonful of miso paste in hot water, add ingredients like tofu, seaweed, and green onions, and you have a quick and nutritious soup.

Miso Desserts

Bake with miso in bread or cookies, anything that has butter in it, add some miso prior to baking to add an extra layer of flavor.
