Marukome Organic Miso Soup with Tofu and Green Onion, 1.07 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, it is said that miso was introduced in the 7th century by Buddhist monks. The process of making miso was gradually refined, and it eventually became a vital part of the samurai diet. It was not until 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. Today, miso is still widely used in Japan, both in traditional and modern cooking, and it has also gained worldwide interest. 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 nutrients, including vitamins, magnesium, protein, sodium, carbohydrates, iron, and minerals. Miso itself is a thick, paste-like substance made from fermented soybeans, rice, and koi miso. It is brown in color and has a pleasantly salty, tangy, and savory taste, with a distinct umami flavor.

While the most common use of miso is in Japanese-style miso soup, which is typically made with wakame seaweed, tofu, and green onions, the versatility of miso allows for the creation of a wide range of miso soup variations. You can easily make your own original miso soup by using miso and adding your favorite toppings, such as cheese, tomato, corn, popcorn, or batter.
