Ohsawa Yamaki - Organic 2-Year Brown Rice Miso, Unpasteurized, Gluten-Free, Vegan Paste for Soups, Sauces, Marinades, Japanese Flavor - 1 lb

. . . to point out that the Miso masters who did this are perfectionists. Every jar I've bought has been uniformly smooth and very flavorful. It has a special "alive" taste I find in the best of fermented foods. No stimulants in this product, but it is somehow invigorating. Bon appetit folks!

Spectacular miso from Japan. Only one to compare is South River Miso from Conway, Massachusetts, also great.

I bought this miso and mirin from the same manufacturer Ohsawa. Both products are extremely flavorful, work well together, and add that something, which most homecooks' Chinese and Japanese dishes are missing. The something we can never figure out why our dish does not taste like the one at the restaurant. A little miso goes a long way and can over power other flavors. Even though the miso has reduced sodium, using a large amount will add an unpleasant salty taste to your dish. A little is marvelous; too much, not so.

If you already know Ohsawa , I don’t need to tell you a thing. But if you don’t? You cannot go wrong on flavor and consistency, and efficient packaging on everything they make. their Mirin, their miso, and their nama shoyu soy sauce Always have a place in my refrigerator.

BrokenPlease package better in the future

Love the product. Fantastic umami taste and a nice size jar. Not enormous or tiny. Just so.

salad dressing, sauces,soup.

A world away from dried, powdered miso. This is full-flavored and excellent for many uses.
