Miso Soup

What this is

Miso Soup is a comforting and savoury Japanese classic, renowned for its simplicity and depth of flavour. Made from a rich broth of fermented miso paste, this soup is a staple accompaniment to many meals, offering a warm, umami-rich experience with each sip. The delicate combination of tofu, seaweed, and spring onions makes it a light yet satisfying dish for any time of day.

How it is made

Our Miso Soup begins with a traditional dashi stock, made from kombu (seaweed) and bonito flakes, to create a deep, savoury base. The miso paste, a fermented soybean mixture, is gently whisked into the broth, bringing its signature umami flavour. Soft cubes of silken tofu are added, alongside rehydrated wakame seaweed, which provides a hint of oceanic flavour. Finally, the soup is garnished with freshly sliced spring onions for a bit of sharpness and colour. Each bowl is prepared with care, ensuring the perfect balance of rich miso and light, refreshing ingredients.

Where it is sourced

We take care in sourcing the finest ingredients for our Miso Soup. The miso paste is imported from Japan, crafted using traditional methods to preserve its authentic, deep flavour. Our tofu and wakame are sourced from local suppliers who are known for their commitment to quality and freshness. The spring onions are hand-selected from Australian farms, ensuring their vibrant taste and crisp texture.

Flavour profile

Miso Soup offers a complex yet soothing flavour profile, centred on the rich umami from the miso paste and dashi stock. The miso brings a savoury depth, balanced by the subtle sweetness of tofu and the briny hint of wakame seaweed. The spring onions provide a fresh, slightly sharp contrast, making each sip a harmonious blend of rich, salty, and mild sweetness. It’s the perfect light starter or side to complement any meal.
