Marukome Organic Miso Soup with Tofu and Seaweed, 1.1 oz.

Miso, a Versatile Japanese Delicacy

Miso, a traditional Japanese seasoning, has a long and fascinating history. Originating in China as early as the 4th century BC, 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 wasn't until the 17th century that industrial production of miso began.

High in protein and rich in vitamins and minerals, miso played an important nutritional role in feudal Japan. Today, it is still widely used in both traditional and modern Japanese cooking, and its popularity is growing worldwide. 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's Organic Miso Soup is a testament to the versatility of this unique ingredient. Made from fermented soybeans, rice, and koji, miso is a thick, paste-like substance with a pleasantly salty, tangy, and savory flavor, offering a delightful umami experience.

Surprisingly, miso has a relatively low salt content, making it a healthier choice. While the most common use of miso is in traditional Japanese-style miso soup, which often features wakame seaweed, tofu, and green onions, the possibilities for miso-based dishes are endless.

With Marukome Organic Miso Soup, you can easily create your own unique miso soup creations. Just add hot water, and you can experiment with a variety of toppings, such as cheese, tomatoes, corn, or even popcorn, to craft your own delicious and satisfying miso-based meals.

Marukome Organic Miso Soup is USDA certified organic, ensuring the highest quality ingredients. Each package contains four servings, making it a convenient and versatile option for busy home cooks.

So why not embark on a culinary adventure and explore the wonders of miso? Whether you're a long-time miso enthusiast or new to this ancient Japanese delight, Marukome Organic Miso Soup offers a delicious and wholesome way to experience the rich flavors and health benefits of this remarkable ingredient.
