What it is
This is a smooth and savory dressing made with fermented soybean paste, also known as miso. It has a rich, umami flavor profile that is both tangy and slightly sweet. The creamy texture comes from its emulsified base, making it versatile for various culinary applications. It is ready to use straight from the bottle.
