Re: Re: Anyone eat miso?????

[Guest guest]

Hi , I absolutely LOVE South River miso --especially their 3-year

barley miso. (All of them are very good, though.) I learned to love miso

soup every morning for breakfast when I lived in Tokyo in the 70's as an art

student. I also ate salt cured fish for breakfast. Everything was so weird

at first and then, of course, I not only got used to it but I came to look

forward to those things when I woke up.

I think maybe in Asia, generally, the trend is toward salty fermented foods

at breakfast? Or maybe it was just the crowd I was with in Tokyo? Didn't

look into it much.. Anyway, it introduced to me the idea of those sorts of

flavors for breakfast rather than the sweet grainy stuff I came from and

then went back to (and really craved!) later. I mean if you want to get a

lot of stuff done and you don't know about all the bad things, how can you

beat that blast of rocket fuel in the morning? (Never mind the crash

later... :-)

Anyway, I find that a lot of those Japanese habits were good ones after all

and it's made it relatively easy to adapt to a return-to-traditional food..

BTW, the South River Miso site is here:

I have certified organic Hacho Miso aged and fermented soybeans. I

tried making miso soup using some of the paste and some green onion but

it is definitely lacking something. Can anyone help me find the

missing ingredients?

Thanks, Sandy

I find that using bonito broth to melt the miso is the " missing taste "

with miso.
