Finally! This is the miso I have been seeking for years. This is a purely subjective, personal opinion, but this is the best kind of miso: dark and strong and creates a rich broth. The flavor reminds me of the 1970s when I worked in a vegetarian restaurant and I'm so happy to have found it again! It is similar to naturally fermented tamari, but less salty and more "meaty" even though it has no meat. The bag it comes in can be re-closed, but the inner bag cannot - and is a tight fit. So I will be scooping it into a jar with a tight lid for easier use. It's much too thick to use a bottle.

I have been trying to mimic the dumpling recipe my local Chinese food place uses. Between this and hoisin sauce, I'm pretty sure I have the recipe nailed down. My homemade dumplings taste so good now. The miso paste is pretty thick and can be hard to get out of the bag. I clipped the corner the inside bag and tried to squeeze out what I need like a pastry bag. Hasn't worked great and will probably need to cut the whole thing open to get it all out. Taste is great. Like I said, between this and adding hoisin sauce to my filling, the dumplings taste so good and savory. There are so many bad dumpling recipes online that have no flavor. Putting some this in will help tremendously. Can't wait to try adding some of this to my soups.

This is really good for miso soup, salad dressing marinades and so forth. However, the packaging leaves much to be desired. It's plastic first and second it's hard to close, you need your own clip and it can get dirty from handling the top of you don't use it fast it runs the risk of actually getting moldy which I have never seen miso do except with this bag. I threw it away and figure it a fluke and I will continue to buy more from Eden foods

I love this company Eden and their products. They are always a great quality and this miso has great flavor, quality and I understand is very healing for the gut.And creating a positive bio environment in the gut.
