Product overview

The large 1 kg pack makes it particularly suitable for anyone who often cooks Asian food, whether in a restaurant kitchen or at home.

The company behind Hikari Miso places great importance on sustainable, traditional production. Each batch is left to mature under controlled conditions to develop the right balance of flavour and texture. Miso paste is a versatile kitchen staple with a long history in Japanese cooking, where it is used as a base for soups, sauces and marinades. The light colour of Shiro miso makes it especially suitable when you want to preserve the natural colours of the ingredients you are cooking with.

Active ingredients & science

The main ingredient in Hikari Miso Shiro is fermented soybeans, combined with koji (a form of Aspergillus oryzae), which is essential to the fermentation process. Salt is added in a balanced amount to support preservation and the flavour profile. Water is used to adjust the consistency. Fermentation develops natural flavour compounds and a mild umami character without being overpowering, making this product appealing to a wide range of palates.
