Miso 101

Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning. It is made by fermenting soybeans with salt and fungus names “Koji”. Sometimes rice, barley, or other ingredients are used. The thick paste is sued for sauces and spreads, vegetables and meat, and of course in miso soup.

The many benefits of miso include the fact that it is a whole protein, has probiotics, is full of antioxidants, aids in digestion, is a good source of B- Vitamins, and offers many other health and dietary benefits. You can read more about miso here: 10 Benefits and Uses For Miso.

You can make miso soup at home, or you can skip all of that and just come down to Fuji where they make wonderful miso soup. You can eat in or take out to enjoy later.

Fuji Japanese Restaurant is located at 253 N. McDowell Blvd (between Kmart and Massage Envy). Open daily.
