In collaboration with Marukome, Chef Morimoto has created a premium miso soup. Morimoto's first cookbook, Morimoto: The New Art of Japanese Cooking (2007), won two IACP awards (in the "Chef's and Restaurants" category and the "First Book: The Julia Child Award") and was nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award. His second cookbook, Mastering The Art of Japanese Cooking (2017), introduces readers to the healthy, flavorful, and surprisingly simple dishes favored by Japanese home cooks.

Miso, a thick paste-like substance made from fermented soybeans, rice, and koji, is a staple in Japanese cuisine. It is brown in color and tastes pleasantly salty, tangy, and savory on its own, with a noticeable umami flavor. Surprisingly, miso has a relatively low salt content. Miso is a highly nutritious food, containing vitamins, magnesium, protein, sodium, carbohydrates, iron, and minerals. There are no other foods in the world that contain such a wide range of nutrients.

While the most common use of miso is in Japanese-style miso soup, it can also be used in a variety of other dishes. This premium miso soup, created in collaboration with Marukome, is of the highest quality, with a rich and satisfying texture and taste. It is great for vegetarians and is very easy to prepare.

In summary, this premium miso soup combines the culinary expertise of Chef Masaharu Morimoto, known for his masterful blending of Western and Japanese flavors, with the high-quality miso from Marukome. The result is a nutritious and delicious soup that is simple to prepare and enjoyable for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
