California-based Omiso makes high-quality yellow Amakuchi miso inspired by the traditional fermentation methods of microbreweries in Japan. Founder Ai Fujimoto ferments hand-picked Japanese koji rice with organic soybeans she mashes by hand in Omiso’s Los Angeles kitchen. The Amakuchi miso has a high koji ratio—which imparts a sweet, fruity aroma and flavor—unlike overly salty supermarket versions. Under the guidance of Omiso’s fermentation specialist, Nozomi Jinguji, the yellow miso ages for three to eight months before it’s ready to use. The result is a subtly sweet, nuanced miso you can store in the fridge and scoop anytime for marinades, roasted meat and vegetables, compound butters, glazes, baked goods and more.

Try this mellow Amakuchi miso for traditional miso soup or whisk in a spoonful to boost the depth of your favorite soups or stews. Miso is also a great addition to marinades and glazes, compound butters (that taste excellent in pasta dishes) and sauce for roasted fish, meat and vegetables. We especially like using miso when baking, thanks to its sweet-salty combination; try it in cookie doughs, blondies, banana breads and fillings or caramels. Use the yellow miso in our Miso-Ginger Chicken Salad, Corn Chowder with Miso and Scallions or Peanut Butter-Miso Cookies.

Store in freezer or fridge (up to three months).
