Umami Paste

Clearspring’s Organic Japanese Umami Paste with Ginger is a versatile condiment that adds depth and richness to various dishes. This paste is designed to enhance the **umami** flavor, which is known as the “fifth taste” (in addition to sweet, sour, salty, and bitter) and is often described as savory or meaty.

### Key Features:
– **Umami Flavor**: The paste intensifies the natural umami present in foods, making it ideal for enhancing the taste of soups, sauces, marinades, stir-fries, and more.
– **Traditional Fermentation Process**: It is made by adding a Koji culture to rice and allowing it to ferment naturally. This fermentation process develops complex flavors.
– **Blended with Soy Sauce and Ginger**: The paste combines **soy sauce** with the warmth and spice of **ginger**, offering a balance of savory and slightly tangy notes.
– **Organic and Natural**: Clearspring’s Umami Paste is made from organic ingredients, free from artificial additives, making it a healthy addition to meals.

### Culinary Uses:
– **Marinades and Dressings**: Add depth to marinades for tofu, meat, or vegetables.
– **Soups and Broths**: Enhance the flavor of miso soup, ramen, or broth-based dishes.
– **Stir-fries and Noodles**: Mix into stir-fries for a richer, more savory taste.
– **Condiment**: Use it as a table condiment for dipping or spreading.

This umami paste is an excellent option for boosting flavor naturally and making dishes more satisfying.
