Miso is a traditional Japanese food which is used to give meals some extra bite or Umami. The Japanese appreciate five tastes as compared to the Western world's four tastes. Western chefs refer to tastes such as sweet, sour, salty and bitter when cooking. The Japanese on the other hand include Umami as a fifth taste which represents a moreish, savoury taste!
