I wonder how much not having strong preferences is related to it being a less familiar food. I find that sometimes preferences form with more exposure and experience to pick up differences.

I used to use sweet white miso to make sunflower seed cheese. A very brief fermentation and a nice mild spread!

I always enjoy the thoughtful analysis of these comparison episodes. Thanks!

[hasitdawnedonyou]

soy sauce is a by product of miso production. Marukome is the beginner miso and the most classic in flavour. If no one has ever tried miso butter pasta, it’s so good

[susieq]

Excellent presentation! I love the comparisons you give between products. Thanks so much.

I love Miso soup. I've never had it in any other way. I don't think my local market carries it but next time I need groceries I'll look to see what brand they have if they do carry it. I might have to order it online.

I can't believe she ate like a teaspoon of miso loool... dedication

Hikari-miso is the brand I buy without trying the others, glad to know it’s the top choice. 👍
Miso soup is great with tofu, seaweed and green onions. Sometimes I sprinkle with chili powder for some zing. YUM!

[scrilla]

She ate so much of it I'm blown away😂

Actually miso has been available before the 1960s: in Hawaii and wherever there is a Japanese community. Some of it made locally, as in Hawaii and Los Angeles, or imported from Japan.

[nguyendl]

Good comparison. I will use Hikari Organic white miso for my daily cooking

Hello Ladies! Just love ALL your shows! Your whole cast...wonderful!

Got on here to check equipment reviews of toasters. Ha! So Much great stuff to see from ATK! Thanx! Was surprised to see this on miso.Yamabuki came doctor reommended to me about twenty yrs ago as guaranteed no MSGs. These others can be fairly heavy with it. So I have stuck with this one. If a brand tastes really great... it could be Happy Tongue!

I love bean curd. I loved fermented stuff. I like the taste of miso in Japanese, Korean fare, etc. However, sometimes it makes me light-headed like a lot of people, perhaps a slight allergic reaction or a Chinese restaurant syndrome thing.

America test kitchen - NO miso soup is complete without DASHI seasoning, can be KELP (seaweed) or from Dried LITTLE fish ( Niboshi),
you will find adding a littlie or Either or BOTH to miso soup Brings out more Flavor and UMAMI.

[charleshetrick]

This is off topic of the video but if ATK wants to tackle the dough recipe from a pizzeria in Milwaukee Oregon called Pietro’s Pizza I would be grateful.

[Passionforfoodrecipes]

Man I've just bean waiting for the pasting! Miso hungry now!

Sorry that was awful, I just *mashed* it all together! 😋

[fmradio]

I used to buy a dark brown miso master years ago and dont know what one it was. can you do a type of miso taste test please. Thanks

[johnmudd]

I understand from an MD that white miso is very healthy. However, at least one in the line was described as very salty. That seems like a contradiction. Could you help me understand the topic? Thank you

[annjones]

i luv miso, however. WOW, she ate A LOT of miso! i am no expert, but i didnt think that was humanly possible! that would be like eating a tablespoon of salt with a drop of fish oil chaser!
