What kind of food is this?
A seasoning made by fermenting soybeans with koji and salt. It contains a great deal of sodium: 4900mg per 100g.
During fermentation, some soy protein breaks down into amino acids and peptides, creating flavor and aroma compounds.
Miso's role is to add a small amount of fermented umami and aroma.
How to serve
Because it is very high in sodium, use it only as a light touch of flavoring.

In food-energetics terms
In food-energetics terms, this is classified as "warming." It is said to gently warm the body and is often chosen when the body tends to feel cold.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
