Miso's adaptability makes it suitable in a surprising range of dishes both traditional and contemporary — not just miso soup, but savory pasta sauces, flavorful pizza toppings, crisp salads, tempting appetizers, fish and meat entrées, and  even refreshing sorbets.		  
       
  Centuries old, yet fresh as this morning's rain, miso is an iconic staple of traditional Japanese cuisine, renowned for its simplicity and purity. And in an age of health-conscious and culturally adventurous diets, miso soup is perhaps contemporary cuisine’s perfect food — delicate, nutritious, endlessly adaptable, disarmingly sophisticated.
