FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between this and regular white miso? While most white miso is sweet and mild, the 3-year aging process makes this Kyoto Shiro much deeper, saltier, and more umami-forward while retaining its characteristic smoothness.
How should I store this miso? Miso is a fermented product and should be kept in the refrigerator after opening. Ensure the surface is covered with plastic wrap or the lid is tightly sealed to prevent drying.
Is this product gluten-free? Yes, this specific Namikura miso is made from rice koji and soybeans, making it a naturally gluten-free ingredient.
Can I use this for a simple miso soup? Absolutely. Because it is aged for 3 years, you may find you need slightly less than usual to achieve a rich, full-bodied broth.
Is it normal for the color to darken over time? Yes, aged miso may continue to darken slightly as the fermentation process naturally progresses; this does not mean the product is spoiled.
Is this miso vegan? Yes, it is a 100% plant-based, organic product suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.
