Saikyo Miso - Ishino - 2.2 lb

Ishino Saikyo Miso, presented in a convenient 2.2 lb package, offers a nuanced and subtly sweet profile, distinguishing itself from its saltier counterparts with a lower sodium content and a higher rice koji ratio, which contributes to its pale color and delicate umami.
