Shiro Miso (White Miso Paste)
白味噌
Used in 1 recipe
What is it?
Lightly fermented white miso — sweeter and milder than red miso.
Culinary role
Blended with aka miso for awase (mixed) miso tare that balances salt and sweetness.
Buying guide
Shiro miso (白味噌) ferments briefly, staying sweet and pale — perfect for balancing salty aka miso in awase ramen tare. Saikyo miso from Kyoto is the luxury end; supermarket shiro tubs work for daily cooking.
Refrigerate opened tubs with wrap pressed to the surface, same as red miso.
- Budget pick: generic shiro miso tub.
- Premium pick: Saikyo or regional white miso from Japan.
Substitutes
All aka miso with extra sugar — less nuanced but fine.
How to store
Same as aka miso — refrigerate with wrap touching the paste surface.
Shelf life
Opened: 6–12 months refrigerated.
