What is Miso?
Miso, a Fermented Food
Miso is a fermented food—like cheese or yogurt—and a traditional Japanese seasoning. Hatcho miso in particular uses only soybeans, aged over two years in large wooden barrels, resulting in a highly nutritious miso rich in minerals such as protein, calcium, and magnesium.
Because it holds up to heat, its body and umami deepen the longer it simmers. In fact, it is lower in salt than typical miso, offering a mellow yet profoundly deep flavor.
