Miso is a thick paste, made by fermenting soybeans with sea salt and kÅji, itself the product of fermenting rice, barley or soybeans with a mold culture, kÅji-kin (Aspergillus oryzae).Often, grains such as barley or rice, and sometimes other ingredients, are added. Miso tastes salty and, depending on the grains used and fermentation time, may also be sweet.

Fermented soybean paste mixed with salt and malt rice or malt wheat or malt bean. The mixtures and fermentation give it different flavors.

Besides the pasty bean stuff you make soup out of, it is also the stuff inside of the body of a crab. Ask any Japanese person, they will agree.
