Find no miso?

Question

Help! I am making sweet Japanese bread.

The recepie calls for white (shiro) miso,

but I can not find any.

What can I use for a replacemnet?

Will aka (red) miso work?

Answer 1

Shiro-miso paste is mild and low in salt, while Aaka-miso (red) is very salty with a different, stronger smell.

Here is your answer....

white miso = shiro miso = shiromiso = mellow miso = sweet miso = sweet white miso = kyoto shiro miso  Notes:    This pale yellow miso is the sweetest and mildest of them all.   It's used to make light soups, salad dressings, desserts, and marinades for fish.   It's aged only briefly and isn't as salty as other forms of miso.   Substitutes:  yellow miso OR vegetable bouillon cube (1 tablespoon white miso = 1 vegetable bouillon cube) OR red miso (2 tablespoons red miso = 3 tablespoons white miso)
