White is my all-purpose favourite. I made a hatcho miso shiru with some miso sent from a friend in Kyoto. This was great stuff. Three years old, dark, great texture. Perfect and subtle. Usually I find hatcho too macho.
When I make egg salad, the eggs are usually still vaguely warm and I've just made the mayo. Minced scallions, garlic, a bit of ginger. I really enjoy a few spoonfuls while it's still in this state.
Last week I diced up some leftover bulgogi strip steaks and tossed it with cooked double-smoked lardons. Made sandwiches with grilled provolone on kaisers. (Served with a soup made from leftover kimchee.) Very popular.
