Fun Fact

Miso has been a staple in Japanese cuisine for over 1,000 years. Produced by fermenting soybeans with rice or barley and salt, miso is valued not only for its complex flavor but also for its natural fermentation process. White miso is fermented for a shorter time compared to red miso, which results in a lighter color and milder taste.
