Since I first met the miso sachets from itzu I have been in love with them . You can use them when you want instead if the jar glaring at you . You can make a hot soup in a mug from it . You can add it as a marinade. I have mixed it and added as a dressing on salad YUM. Or as a dip for dumplings . Too easy to use haha made me very lazy but it is wonderful. I even took a sachet to the chippy yesterday but I used salt and vinegar instead with a splash of tomato ketchup . I think this may be the fifth case I have bought of these . It tastes very good . Very versatile. Very easy to slip a sachet or two in your purse for work etc
