1. It is a fermented and salted product, so it really doesn't spoil
2. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 year
3. White mold that may form on the top is harmless and can be mixed back in or scraped off (it is tastless, but if you are allergic don't eat it)
4. The darker miso can be left unrefrigerated for awhile (I couldn't figure out how long, but it seemed several days was implied); the lighter miso needs to be refrigerated but won't spoil if you leave it at room temperature for a day
5. Some miso is pasturized, this type should always be refrigerated
6. You could probably freeze it but since it stays safe in the fridge for a long time, why bother.
It is Miso....
no it is not. Miso is a veggi from the miso plant and tofu is soy bean paste made in to cube form. You may think that miso is from tofu because almost all miso soups are made with miso and tofu
You can buy miso paste to make miso soup at WEGMANS.

does all miso come from Japan, or is there a American alternative
Pietro di Miso died in 1174.
Josef Miso was born on 1973-10-18.
"Traditional" Miso Soup that you would probably order in a restaurant is NOT actually vegan, because one of the ingredients is "dashi", which is made from fish. However, Miso Soup can easily be made to be vegan.
Miso is fermented to begin with, so in that sense it's already not "fresh". In terms of cooking however, if you keep it moist and sealed in your refrigerator miso is good for at least a year. The different colors of miso, (white, red, etc.) come from how long the miso has aged. As miso ages its color darkens and its taste gets stronger, but that doesn't mean it has gone "bad".
Miso is made with rice and soybeans and is a seasoning. "Shiro" miso is white or light gold and is one of the most sweetest misos. it is a Japanese ingredient.
