Sakura Miso Paste, 1kg

very good, original taste

I was on japan 10 years ago and had some form of miso soup everyday. I bought the miso paste after a lot of initial doubt but decided to give it a chance, because I was craving for miso soup. Packing was as shown in pic, delivery was on time via india post, expiry date was 1 year on package. So far go good. Now how would the taste be? I opened the pack and almost immediately went back to Tokyo! The fragrance alone was something I had long forgotten and now again after 10 years, all those taste buds tingling in anticipation. I made a simple broth with veg stock and added a tablespoon of the paste and had a quick taste check. Itaraki-mas. This took me back deeper into the alley ways of Kyoto, it was fresh, fragrant, not so salty, creamy, almost sweet, just the perfect balance for a soup. Now all I need is dashi stock and some silken tofu and I can have endless bowls of Tokyo in my house! Arigato-gosai mas Sakura! You made my day!

The taste is good enough and came well packaged. I'm familiar with both miso flavors and I often have had the aka miso so I'm comfortable with its flavor profile. However, this time I was hoping to try Shiro Miso since it has been a long time so I ordered it. Bought my vegetables ahead of time so when it arrived, I was basically ready to make a bowl of soup right away. But when I saw it was Aka Miso that was a bit disappointing, especially because I really dislike mislabeling, there really needs to be some sort of consumer protection oversight law for this, because if you complain to amazon they will only refund or replace your product but the problem will always remain for the next person.

seller is very very bad keeping miso so it was changed color and taste.seller never know miso need to keep fresh and cold place.im very very disappointed this miso.im japanese so i know well miso.i would like to refund or change it.otherwise this miso just will go to trash.

Taste is great, quality is high, lasts forever

I've wanted to buy miso paste for a while. This is the Shinshu/Hikari miso, the traditional yellow kind. Smells sweet and not too pungent. My family members described it as smelling almost like jaggery! I made a simple sauce with two spoons of miso paste, some sambal, toasted sesame oil, and pepper. I cooked up some soba noodles and kind of directly scooped the noodles out of the water and put them into the bowl with the sauce. The residual warm water from the noodles turns the miso into a creamy sauce. Remember, DON'T add the miso paste into boiling water or boil it in any way as it kills off the good bacteria and taste.

Product atcha he. Lekin har baar packet fata huwa he. Or iss baar 6 packet ke jagah me 3 packet mila he

This miso is a brand from Inner Mongolia, China. Good quality, good quantity, good taste. However, the price change troubled me quite a lot. I purchased two KG miso at 440/kg, I was so happy about the product and recommended to many people, each time I sent link the price changed cheaper and cheaper. In less than a month time I’ve over paid 240rupees. Could someone explain why this is happening?
