On a visit to farms of the brand now known as The Wasabi Company, a chef mentioned to the founders that its watercress was grown reminded them of the conditions required by wasabi. It made them think—could the traditionally Japanese-grown ingredient thrive in the UK? Years later and the label now offers an extended range that includes this miso paste. Blended with barley to intensify the savoury flavour, it can be added to soups or used to marinate meat and veg.

Preparation Instructions

The addition of barley intensifies the flavour of this miso. Japanese chefs will often pass barley miso through a sieve to enhance the flavour as the barley reacts with the air. Excellent for a rustic miso soup with character and depth this miso can also be used to marinate meat, fish and vegetables and can be added to any soup where depth and umami richness is called for. Pair with our Kombu for an excellent quality miso soup.
