In relation to Aiba Manabu Epi 023

When they're talking about mugi miso... and what do you know, there's a Kyuzu fair at Isetan and they're selling fresh MUGI MISO! What a coincidence! I bought about 400gr, but come to think of it... it may be gone in a jiffy considering that now I have to fight with my dad for the share of miso paste... -__-"

So, how does it taste? Well, definitely OISHII! I tried the sampling and it's damn good! ... what does it mean by good? In a nut shell, the impression given by Aiba-chan and the members are true. It has mugi smell, but it's not as strong as what they said, at least for me, and it's not so salty, in fact it has some amount of sweetness in it. I love tasting the paste itself because it's very different compare to the regular box miso paste. The texture without the barley bits is very smooth and clean and I'd think Aiba-chan will describe it as creamy.

The good thing is that this fresh miso paste can last 6 months on the fridge and 1 year on the freezer, which is GOOD because I don't think I'll cook miso shiru every week.

Judging from the taste, apart from miso shiru, I'd think yakiniku is another gem to try. How to do? just cook the meat on the pan and put a bit of miso on top of it and roll the meat, i think it'll work, I'll try it if I have time XD.

See? Aiba Manabu is educative!

and since mugi miso is not as salty, my dad love it (though never really say it), so I'm foreseeing him taking the miso for his noodle soup...
