Kaden Kanzukuri Miso is a traditional Japanese miso paste that comes in a 17.63 oz (500g) package. This miso is often made using traditional techniques, which involve fermenting soybeans with koji (a type of mold used in fermentation) and salt. Kanzukuri miso is typically a rich, deep-flavored miso with a robust umami taste, ideal for various Japanese recipes.

Characteristics:

• Flavor: Rich and savory with a complex umami profile, slightly sweet or mildly salty depending on the variety.
• Texture: Thick and paste-like, easy to dissolve in warm liquids.
• Color: Often medium to dark brown, though color may vary based on fermentation.

Uses:

• Miso Soup: Dissolve a spoonful into hot dashi broth, adding tofu, seaweed, and green onions for a classic Japanese miso soup.
• Marinades: Combine with soy sauce, sake, and mirin to create marinades for fish, meats, or vegetables.
• Sauces and Dressings: Add to salad dressings or sauces for extra depth of flavor.
• Stir-Fries and Glazes: Mix with other ingredients to add flavor to stir-fries or as a glaze.

Kaden Kanzukuri Miso should be stored in the refrigerator after opening to maintain freshness, as it is a living product that may continue to develop flavor over time.
