Urban Platter Shiro Miso Paste, 300g (Light Miso | Fermented Soybean Paste | Preservative-Free | Umami Rich)

I have always loved Miso soups. I tried making them at home for the first time with Urban Platter's Shiro paste. Throw in some bokchoy and tofu in a boiling pan of water and add a spoon of this miso paste and you have a rich wholesome soup for your dinner. Add any other veggie that you wish.

I don't know how to describe the taste of it. I can't think of anything to compare it with. For Indians, our pallette is quite different so it can taste weird but not unpleasant. I make seaweed soup with miso. Its a very simple recipe. Cook diced vegetables (whatever is available depending on the season, I add potatoes, carrots and cabbage) and at last, add a tbsp of miso paste, rehydrated seaweed, salt, and a bit of soy sauce. Also, I can't comment whether this is authentic or not because I never had authentic miso. But this looks good quality.

perfect for home made miso soup in a jiffy

Love it! My first shiro miso though, so I don't have a lot to compare. But I have had shiro miso soups in restaurants and I find this tasting just as good if not better. It is also fantastic for glucose spike control, especially if you're going to have some carb or sweets, a bowl of miso soup and kimchi goes a long way to relatively flatten the spike curve.

It is very salty, flavour is good but need to be less salty Color is same as shown

This is my second time buying miso and for the taste I think it's the same even when the brand was different. But I don't understand why the colour is dark when it's supposed to be pale gold. In any case, Urban platter is a brand I would always choose, because of their values. I hope to be able to get correct shiro miso next time.

Very good miso paste compared to others that I had tried earlier. One needs to add right amount of the paste and allow it to boil. Adding few veggies like stir fried zucchini, or bok choy every time adds to the taste.

Best miso, no unnecessary ingredients just the right amount of salt and makes me crave it everyday

Very good quality adds flavor to dishes

Tasty but inside it was super dry and the sauce was clumped in the centre like it was out of date. Wouldn’t order again

Deep overly spicy. Shiro should be mild. Dont mind spicy, eat Korean food regularly. This is too spicy, not edible.

Taste great

As other customers have said, this stuff is NOT white Miso — it the color of fudge, a deep brown. Moreover, when I opened the jar, although it was sealed the contents were dried out and filled only about 2/3 of the jar. I tasted a tiny bit of it and found it to be bitter and quite salty. I don't know what this stuff is, but it's NOT Japanese white Miso. It is from India, so maybe that's the way they like it.
