Shiitake Katsuobushi Miso

I ordered 6 different 1 oz. sampler jars, not all of which I have tried yet. I think I liked the Shiitake Katsuobushi, though I used it in a recipe that had ingredients that did not let the flavor come through as clearly as it could have. I love the idea - and this company is a delight to work with. I do need to be more selective of the recipes I use to sample the different flavors so that the flavors of the misos are front and center without being clouded/overpowered. As I become more familiar with the nuances of each of the miso varieties, I can be more adventurous in allowing the miso to shape the recipe rather than the recipe shaping or masking the flavor of the miso. Until then, my taste buds are happy and I am happy to have found this wonderful company and its' products. I will say that it is so worthwhile to go for the larger 6 oz. jars as samples - the little ones simply are a tease rather than giving enough miso to play around with - if you make the mistake I did, there simply isn't enough miso to try again.

Love the product

I top my egg omelet with this miso, add it to broth and deviled eggs. It gives everything a richer flavor. No fishy smell nor taste.
