## Overview

Shirakiku Red Miso Soybean Paste is a 2.2-pound jar of authentic Japanese fermented soybean paste, known for its deep umami and assertive, salty flavor. Fermented longer than white miso, it’s ideal for hearty soups, braises, marinades, and glazes, offering a versatile, plant-based ingredient that elevates everyday cooking with traditional craftsmanship.

## Description

Red Miso is fermented for a longer duration than White Miso and is generally saltier with an assertive and pungent flavor. Miso is a traditional Japanese food produced by fermenting rice, barley and/or soybeans, with salt and the mold, kojikin. The typical result is a thick paste used for sauces and spreads, pickling vegetables and meats, and mixing with hondashi soup stock, a Japanese culinary staple. Miso pastes can be used for marinades, one of the most popular recipes currently being the Black Cod Miso made famous by Nobu.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is this product made?**
A: Distributed by Wismettac Asian Foods, Inc., Santa Fe Springs,Ca.  It doesn't say it was made there, but I assume so.  It's OK.... I bought it for a recipe and haven't used much of the rather large bag.  Lasts a long time, thouhh.

**Q: Can you freeze it?**
A: I don't think so. It is fermented. That would destroy any probiotic benefit. Also it should not be put in as a soup base boiling, only simmering. It refrigerates for a long time. I put it in clean jars to use as I need it.

**Q: Nutrition fact label???**
A: That should be shown on Amazon.

**Q: Is this made in Japan?**
A: Thinking that I should know, I was raised by a Japanese woman, and loved her food--always begging for one more bite: my father would have a sandwich, I would have a rice-ball.  Though a little salty at first, this produce mixes well with everything, really, everything and fits my life style, really, fits.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taste is craveable.
*by P***A on 20 March 2026*

This miso paste is delicious and filled with umami taste. It will elevate any ramen soup 🍲😋 to an addictive new level. So easy to use, just spoon in a small amount, e.g. 1/4 teaspoon per serving of soup. Quality & size are substantial & shelf life is great since it's a fermented product. Try it once & you'll be hooked for life.
