Marukome Organic Miso Soup with Tofu and Seaweed, 1.1 oz

Miso's origins can be traced back to China as early as the 4th century BC, and the written word "miso" first appeared around 800 BC. In Japan, miso was introduced in the 7th century by Buddhist monks, and the process of making it was gradually refined, becoming a vital part of the samurai diet. It was in the 17th century that industrial production of miso first began. High in protein and rich in vitamins and minerals, miso played an important nutritional role in feudal Japan.

Miso is still widely used in Japan, both in traditional and modern cooking, and it has been gaining worldwide interest as well. Marukome Co., Japan's largest producer, manufactures approximately 100,000 tons of miso annually, making it the number one miso company in the world.

Marukome Organic miso soup is made using organic dashi and miso, and it contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, protein, sodium, and carbohydrates. Miso itself is a thick, paste-like substance made from fermented soybeans, rice, and koji (a type of fungus). It is brown in color and has a pleasantly salty, tangy, and savory flavor, with a distinct umami taste.

While the most common use of miso is in Japanese-style miso soup, which typically includes wakame seaweed, tofu, and green onions, the versatility of miso allows for the creation of a wide range of unique and delicious soups. You can easily make your own original miso soup by adding miso to hot water and your choice of toppings, such as cheese, tomato, corn, popcorn, or even batter.
