Miso

Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning. It is a thick paste produced by fermenting soybeans with salt and kōji, and sometimes rice, barley, seaweed, or other ingredients. It is used for sauces and spreads; pickling vegetables, fish, or meats; and mixing with dashi soup stock to serve as miso soup, a Japanese culinary staple food.

Miso is high in protein and rich in minerals, and it played an important nutritional role in feudal Japan.
Miso is widely used in both traditional and modern cooking in Japan, and as of 2018 had been gaining worldwide interest.
