Marukome Instant Miso with Green Onion (12 Count)

Miso, a fermented seasoning paste, has a long and storied history that can be traced back to China in the 4th century BC. The written word "Miso" first appeared around 800 BC, and it was introduced to Japan in the 7th century by Buddhist monks. The process of making Miso was gradually refined, and it became a vital part of the samurai diet. It was not until the 17th century that industrial production of Miso began.

High in protein and rich in vitamins and minerals, Miso played an important nutritional role in feudal Japan. Today, Miso is still widely used in both traditional and modern Japanese cooking, and it has gained worldwide interest as well. Marukome Co., Japan's largest producer, manufactures approximately 100,000 tons of Miso annually, making it the number one Miso company in the world.

Miso is a thick, paste-like substance made from fermented soybeans, rice, and koji. It is brown in color and has a pleasantly salty, tangy, and savory taste, with a distinct umami flavor. Despite its robust taste, Miso has a surprisingly low salt content.

The most common use of Miso is in Japanese-style Miso soup, which is typically made with wakame kelp, tofu, and green onion. However, the versatility of Miso allows for the creation of various types of Miso soup, as well as other dishes. One can easily make their own Miso soup using Miso and their favorite toppings, such as cheese, tomato, corn, popcorn, or batter.
