Kinome Miso 700g

Seasonal · Spring Sansho Leaf Kinome Miso — Japan's spring herb, folded into miso. Brought directly from Japan — only by Hokkaido Uni Shop. What is Kinome Miso? Kinome (木の芽) is the young leaf of the sansho tree — Japan's spring herb, with a green, peppery aroma. The leaves are ground and folded into miso to make a fragrant paste, with a touch of spinach added for color. The result carries the scent of spring directly to the plate. A traditional Japanese kitchen staple, Kinome Miso is the classic dressing for bamboo shoots in spring, and works equally well with grilled fish, tofu dengaku, and lightly cooked vegetables.
