I just want to rant about how far "miso" flavored anything in America has strayed from perfection
I don't know why, but nothing I have purchased with "Miso" flavor on the label in the USA is anything close to what Miso soup is supposed to taste like. American restaurants usually get it right. But nothing off the shelf is even close. I just had something new, Ramen Bistro Japanese "Miso" from Cup Noodles and it was good, but it wasn't Miso. Not even close. Not a hint of the flavor. This is a new low. I can see why many Miso attempts don't survive long in the Asian section of HEB or Walmart. They're not up to par. Why though? What are these companies doing wrong? Are the Benito flakes not Benito enough? The broth subbing in something else? I have a feeling like there's a short-cut being used just like with wasabi.
