White Miso Paste (Shiro) Umami filled Soup base. Vegan, Kosher & Gluten Free 170g | With Resealable cap

This white miso paste has been a wonderful addition to my kitchen. It has a smooth texture and a rich, savory umami flavor that adds depth to soups, sauces, marinades, vegetables, and other meals. I especially appreciate that it is vegan, kosher, and gluten-free, which makes it easy to use with my dietary preferences. A small amount adds plenty of flavor, so the container lasts longer than expected. I have been very pleased with the quality and taste and would definitely purchase it again.

It’s red, salty, and yummy. As long as one knows they are buying red Miso they will be happy to get it for the price of white. I knew it was going to be red so I am happy with the product. Yet at some point it’s going to turn back white when I’m hoping to buy red, and I’ll have to use a white one instead of a red one.

Listen, I read all the reviews. I looked at all the pictures. I knew that there was a huge possibility that I would be receiving black miso, but I figured I would try to order this affordable white miso because everything else is just so much more expensive. I really wanted to try NYT’s miso chicken recipe and I wasn’t about to pay $17 for 16 ounces of white miso. Therefore, I purchased this to try just in case I didn’t like the flavor. Again, it’s a disgustingly brown black color but the chicken came out great. My 10-year-old son loved it. My 75-year-old mother loved it. It came out pretty decent. I don’t know how much of the success of this dish was due to the miso or the recipe, but it worked. However, I’m giving it four stars simply for false advertising.

Not just for miso soup! Delicious and versatile to add Umami to many dishes even into a nice Asian salad dressing. Good product easy to close and reuse

Miso is an ingredient that I've heard about for many years and always wanted to try, but never remembered whenever I went to the store. I finally decided to just order some to try, and I am so glad I did. The flavor in this miso is wonderfully deep. It is extremely salty, but I am a sodium fanatic, so it's perfect for me. I also love the almost bitter note around the edges that give this paste an interesting complexity. I love boosting my fried rice, ramen, soups, etc. with this stuff. I feel like this could be a good substitute for a bouillon cube, as well. I've also tried it on buttered toast, similar to how you would eat Vegemite (which I also love), to great success. Fully recommend!

My white miso paste was very dark brown, almost black. I spoke with amazon chat and requested a refund. I am not sure why there are so many people who received the black paste (I can see from reviews and questions that several people received the black paste) but from everything I have researched fresh, unopened packages of white miso should never be darker than a light brown or a yellow color seen in the picture. This is either a different type of paste or the paste was not stored/packaged correctly. Even the description says that this color is not correct. I also notice that the price has gone up, indicating that the black batch was a reduced price. This all seems very odd to me like they made a bad batch and tried to unload it anyway.

I like it. Price isn’t very good. I’ll get from the grocery store from now on. Delivery is convenient but not worth that much imo

Love this product!
