Urban Platter Shiro Miso Paste-300G Pet Jar

Love it! My first shiro miso though, so I don't have a lot to compare. But I have had shiro miso soups in restaurants and I find this tasting just as good if not better. It is also fantastic for glucose spike control, especially if you're going to have some carb or sweets, a bowl of miso soup and kimchi goes a long way to relatively flatten the spike curve.

Taste great

I don't know how to describe the taste of it. I can't think of anything to compare it with. For Indians, our pallette is quite different so it can taste weird but not unpleasant. I make seaweed soup with miso. Its a very simple recipe. Cook diced vegetables (whatever is available depending on the season, I add potatoes, carrots and cabbage) and at last, add a tbsp of miso paste, rehydrated seaweed, salt, and a bit of soy sauce. Also, I can't comment whether this is authentic or not because I never had authentic miso. But this looks good quality.

As other customers have said, this stuff is NOT white Miso — it the color of fudge, a deep brown. Moreover, when I opened the jar, although it was sealed the contents were dried out and filled only about 2/3 of the jar. I tasted a tiny bit of it and found it to be bitter and quite salty. I don't know what this stuff is, but it's NOT Japanese white Miso. It is from India, so maybe that's the way they like it.

Very good miso paste compared to others that I had tried earlier. One needs to add right amount of the paste and allow it to boil. Adding few veggies like stir fried zucchini, or bok choy every time adds to the taste.
