red miso

Red miso is typically aged longer and made with a higher proportion of soybeans and less rice, which gives it a darker color and a stronger, deeper flavor than white miso.

Red miso works well in miso soup and ramen, for marinating fish, as a glaze, in sautés, pickles, and in hearty preparations like soups, braises, and marinades.

Miso is made by fermenting soybeans with salt and rice koji; red miso specifically tends to use less rice and more soybeans in its production.
