Foods, Certified Organic Hacho Miso, 12.1 oz (345 g)

This miso is sooo good! I like it straight or as a base for soup and I use it to marinate as well. Its really good for balancing and soothing the gut too. Mmmm

This Eden Organic Hatcho (Red) Miso delivers a profound, savory punch—perfect for when you want deep flavor in your cooking. 🌿 What I Love: Rich, Aged Complexity: Aged for 3 years, this dark red miso offers intense umami depth and a satisfying saltiness—ideal for hearty soups, glazes, or marinades. Pure & Organic: Soy, koji, and salt are the only ingredients—clean, Non-GMO, and free of additives. Solid Texture & Yield: Thick and paste-like, so a small amount goes a long way—excellent for concentrated flavor boosts. Authentic Japanese Craftsmanship: It’s made using traditional methods and fermented in cedar wooden tanks, offering genuine, nuanced flavor that commercial misos often lack. ⚠️ A Few Thoughts: Strong Flavor: Its robust taste can overpower lighter dishes—use sparingly or pair with milder misos. Rich Texture: Very thick—thorough stirring and blending into liquids may take a bit of effort. ✅ Final Take: For those seeking an authentic, full-bodied miso that adds intense, savory richness to soups, sauces, and marinades, this Eden organic Hatcho miso is exceptional. Traditional, bold, and beautifully flavorful.

Finally! This is the miso I have been seeking for years. This is a purely subjective, personal opinion, but this is the best kind of miso: dark and strong and creates a rich broth. The flavor reminds me of the 1970s when I worked in a vegetarian restaurant and I'm so happy to have found it again! It is similar to naturally fermented tamari, but less salty and more "meaty" even though it has no meat. The bag it comes in can be re-closed, but the inner bag cannot - and is a tight fit. So I will be scooping it into a jar with a tight lid for easier use. It's much too thick to use a bottle.

This is really good for miso soup, salad dressing marinades and so forth. However, the packaging leaves much to be desired. It's plastic first and second it's hard to close, you need your own clip and it can get dirty from handling the top of you don't use it fast it runs the risk of actually getting moldy which I have never seen miso do except with this bag. I threw it away and figure it a fluke and I will continue to buy more from Eden foods

I love this company Eden and their products. They are always a great quality and this miso has great flavor, quality and I understand is very healing for the gut.And creating a positive bio environment in the gut.
