Which Grocery Store Aisle Is Miso In?
In many big supermarkets, miso of all colors is kept in the produce area with the tofu, tempeh, and mock meats. The same is true of red miso, yellow miso, and any other type.
If you don’t see it there, look for an organic or natural foods aisle. Since miso is typically refrigerated, you should find it in a cooler.
It is possible to find shelf-stable miso in the grocery store. Usually, you’ll see these types of miso in the aisle with Asian products.

What Stores Sell Miso?
- Amazon– Sometimes, the easiest solution is to get what you’ve been searching for on Amazon, the site that has pretty much everything (including red miso and white miso). Plus, you can shop around for the best price and buy in bulk to save money.
- Walmart – You can also buy bulk white miso or bulk red miso from Walmart online or in person. Otherwise, there are other options in the stores. Use the store locator on Walmart’s website to see availability in different locations.
- Whole Foods – Whole Foods has refrigerated Miso Master products. Check the jarred food area of the produce section with items like fermented veggies or wherever the mock meats are kept.
- Your Local Health Food Store– Most independent natural food stores should stock some miso, perhaps even locally made.
- Safeway– Near a Safeway? Look for Cold Mountain Mellow White Miso or Roland Shiro Miso.
- Kroger – Your Kroger store should have a few different options, like Miso Master and Cold Mountain.
- Publix – Miso Master and Cold Mountain are also at Publix stores.
- Asian Markets– For sure, Asian markets will sell some miso (and probably white miso). You might be able to find it a bit cheaper in an Asian market than in supermarkets.
