are you telling me all miso pastes aren't savory? I love cooking with miso and if there is a world of non-savory miso out there that I'm blind to I would be very excited.

Not the OP, but while all miso is savoury you can mix it with a variety of different things. Some miso sauces in Japan have a lot of sugar in them and I've even had miso ice cream. It's very good.

i'm a lot happier calling miso umami than savory. i reserve savory for things more herbal flavors.
When I want to cook savory foods, there's certain things you can look to:
1. Miso pastes. There's several kinds but in a regular American grocery with international sections you'll usually find a mild white miso and a slightly more pungent red one. Both are usually savory. I am sure Chinese and Japanese groceries will have more options.
2. Seaweed
3. Certain vegetable broth brands - "Better than Bouillan" vegetable stock, with the green label, is extremely savory
4. Less of an impact, but certain foods, like lentils and tempeh can impart an earthy, savory flavor
You'd be surprised how many flavors you can get mixing these in various quantities, along with other seasonings such as liquid aminos, liquid smoke, nutritional yeast, roasted tomatoes, and soy sauce.
