Just over two years ago, I started this little experiment to make my own miso paste. After an initial taste test about one year in, it was time to “harvest” some more of it now and to see how it matured. It’s so rewarding to see (and smell!) the results of such a long-term thing, where you literally have to wait for years before you see if any of it worked.

The rest of this will be kept stored away for at least one more year, and I intend to start a next batch very soon, implementing the things I learned with this one.
