They say 30th of every month is miso no hi (みその日), Day of Miso because of the pun of 3 (mi) 10 (so). In September 1982 Zenkoku Miso Kogyo Kyodo Kumiai (全国味噌工業協同組合), Japan Federation of Miso Manufacturers Cooperatives established this anniversary.
Miso (味噌) is the very important Japanese seasoning made from soybeans, koji and salt. There are many kinds of miso depends on regions such as aka miso (赤味噌), red miso or shiro miso(白味噌) white miso. The most famous dish cooked with miso is miso soup (味噌汁：miso shiru). There are many variations according to the ingredients. I like the one with tofu (豆腐) and nameko (ナメコ), a kind of mushroom or asari (アサリ),clams.
