Yutaka Barley Miso Paste brings Deep, earthy umami flavor

Key Benefits of Barley Miso Paste :

• Rich, earthy umami flavor with subtle sweetness.
• Ideal for ramen, stews, and hearty soups.
• Made using traditional Japanese fermentation with barley and soybeans.
• Compact 100g pack for easy use and storage.
• Perfect for deeper, more robust recipes.

What It Tastes Like and How to Use It

• Flavor Profile: Barley miso generally has a nice balance of salty, savory, and a mild sweetness, with a unique, earthy aroma that comes from the barley. It’s often described as a medium-strength miso, falling somewhere between the mild White Miso (Shiro Miso) and the deeper, stronger Red Miso (Aka Miso).
• Key Ingredients: The paste is made by fermenting barley, soybeans, water, and salt. Yutaka’s version is often unpasteurized and suitable for vegans.

How to Use It

• • Miso Soup: Of course, it’s perfect for making a warming, comforting bowl of miso soup.
  • Glazes & Marinades: Mix it with a little sugar, mirin (sweet rice wine), and soy sauce to create a rich glaze for fish (like cod or salmon), chicken, or vegetables (especially eggplant/aubergine).
  • Dressings: Whisk it into oil and vinegar for a creamy, savory salad dressing.
  • Seasoning: Use a dollop in stews, sauces, or even mashed potatoes to give them a deep, umami boost instead of just salt.
