Hikari Shinshu Miso 400g: Everyday Soybean Paste with Depth

Hikari Soybean Paste Shinshu Miso 400g is the sort of quietly useful jar that earns its space in a fridge in France, especially for quick suppers with a little depth. The paste is smooth but not overly loose, with a savoury, toasted-soy scent that opens up beautifully in hot stock, noodle bowls or a glaze for aubergine. It will suit cooks who like clean, umami flavour without fuss; the only caveat is its saltiness, so add gradually rather than by the spoonful.
