Red Miso

Red Miso

Everyday

Red miso is a fermented soybean paste characterized by its dark reddish-brown color and intensely savory, salty flavor. The extended fermentation process, often lasting several years, contributes to its robust umami taste and higher sodium content compared to lighter miso varieties. It is commonly used to add depth and complexity to soups, marinades, glazes, and sauces, but should be used sparingly due to its concentrated flavor.
