Why Does Miso Pair Well with Cakes?

Miso is a fermented paste made out of soybean and is famously known to use in Japanese cuisine, such as ramen and Miso soup. Commonly, miso enhances your food with its umami flavor that adds a special touch. As you know, we crafted Miso Fromage for our 9th anniversary. The question that may pop up is, why does miso pair well with cakes? This article will answer your curiosity.

Flavor Depth
Cake and desserts are known for their sweet taste. With miso being added to your sweet creations, its umami flavor adds a savory depth that balances the sweetness and prevents them from becoming overly sweet. Not only does it enhance the flavor, miso’s fermentation process also creates a complex aroma that takes your sweets experience to a whole new level!

Unique Appeal
The use of miso in cakes and desserts surely appeals to everyone, because miso is commonly put in savory foods. It might be giving a thought of unusual flavor and combination, but it will be a perfect and unique touch for those who love trying new things and experiences!
