Sumo Miso (spicy miso sauce) - 360 grams
This spicy miso sauce is produced by Tsurumiso, an artisanal miso maker located in the scenic town of Yanagawa on Kyushu, Japan. Founded in 1870, the company combines traditional miso craftsmanship with innovative flavour variations.
For this sauce, carefully selected soybean and barley miso are blended with garlic and chili peppers to create a bold, complex flavour.
Flavour profile
The sauce opens with a strong heat from chili peppers and garlic, followed by a deep layer of rich umami. Its dark-red colour hints at its intensity, yet the flavour remains well-balanced: savoury, robust, and full of character.
Usage
This sauce can be used in many ways:
- As a marinade or sauce for grilled meat, chicken, or fish for a powerful flavour boost.
- Added to stir-fried dishes for extra depth and heat.
- Mixed with mayonnaise or sour cream to create a spicy dip or sauce for vegetables or fries.
- As a finishing touch or flavour accent in Japanese-inspired fusion dishes.
Storage
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, close tightly and use within a few months for the best flavour and texture.
