This delicious workhorse Aka (Red) Miso is both artisanally made and intended for everyday use. Aged for 5 to 8 months—shorter in summer, longer in winter—its gentle aging process brings out a rich aroma of chocolate, dried fruit, and black olive. Layered with sweet soy sauce notes, balanced saltiness, and a lingering umami finish, this flavor-packed miso adds another layer of depth in flavor to marinades, miso soup, stews, etc.
Keep refrigerated.
