The dark red bean paste, aka miso, is a specialty in Nagoya, and used to make popular local dish miso-katsu, a crispy pork cutlet served with thick miso sauce. What gives the miso its unique rich taste is that it has been fermented for three years! The salty sweetness is sure to make an impression, especially if you add a variety of spices, such as hot mustard, sesame seeds, or shichimi – dried chili pepper with six spices.
