Organic Japanese Sweet White Miso Paste - Pasteurised

I used to buy this regularly but stopped for a while. On purchasing some again recently I found it to be rather less sweet and a lot more salty than I remember it. Has something changed?

Not tried it as I bought it for someone who is excited to try it out. However I would like to say that the service from your company has been great.

I make a lot of hot thin soups (we call it Happy Soup in our house as it is always cheering and never the same twice). We weaned ourselves off chicken stock cubes a few years ago fearing the high salt content amongst other things, but golly did we miss that taste. I needed something to replace it and off-set the high or acrid notes in my soups (lemongrass, lime leaves etc, particularly when forced to use the died versions) I found that this white miso added at the end rounds out the flavours and pulls everything together beautifully. I've tried lots of different of different white misos but the Clearspring is superior.

My favourite miso. Used this over many years. Quality and flavour is wonderful - add to soups, dressings and even folded into mash potato.

Bland, virtually no saltiness or umami taste at all. No instructions on the pack either other than "25 servings" so I had to play it by ear; put a more than generous amount into the bowl (about 1 tbsp) and added hot water; the result was white water. Literally just that, and not the fun kind that you can go rafting on. Added another tbsp of the paste afterward as I thought maybe I put too much water; there was hardly any difference. Come on Clearspring, up your game.
