Exactly true.
For those who dislike miso, you probably haven't tried the right one to your taste yet. Some are more salty, some sweeter, while some redder than the other. If all you ever tried is from the complimentary soup from the restaurants, I can definitely tell you that you haven't tried the good quality miso soup yet.
I like miso but I don't like ALL varieties of miso. Even Korea and Taiwan have their own varieties. On top of that miso is not just for soup. There's a lot of ways to make miso-"marinated" fish and meat. If you are into Asian cooking, you can google up some good recipes.
