Miso, a fermented soybean paste, brings a characteristic umami depth with slightly salty and sweet notes. When combined with sesame, this miso base is enhanced by nutty and roasted aromas, typical of sesame seeds. This combination offers a rounded and balanced flavor where the richness of miso harmonizes with the distinctive and slightly sweet taste of sesame.
